Find out about what is available and help communicate that to your membership and to people who are not in the Auxiliary but who have health care skills and will join the Auxiliary to volunteer to participate in the program.

- V-Department Workshop Make-up Available On-Line
Historically, Auxiliary workshops have been delivered in a classroom environment. This approach allows for interaction of the students and instructors and provides a relevance to the local area of operation. To enhance our delivery capabilities the 2005 V-Department Work is being offered on line at http://safetyseal.net/workshops/workshop/. Participants will receive completion credit by completing the enrollment form at the end of the review. Questions relative to the workshop material can be posted on the web site's Q & A link.
