A HUGE Thank You to our Club Heros!

Give a pat on the back to....
Joeseph Deck (Member)
Eric Frankenfeld (Member)
Leasa Lowy (Member)
Ann Whitney (Member)
Matthew Iwersen Tennis (Assistant Manager & Tennis Pro)

Their quick actions on November 29th saved Member Dale Nakatani’s life after he collapsed on the tennis court. The members (three of whom happen to be doctors and one is a nurse-anesthetist) immediately started CPR followed by Matt’s attention with our AED (Automatic External Defibrillator) which brought his heart back to a regular beat. Emergency paramedics transported him to St. Joeseph’s hospital where emergency medical treatment was given to Dale.

The Nakatani family wants you to know that Dale is doing fine and will stay in the hospital for a couple of days for observation.

A Special THANK YOU to Lois Lundquist in honor of her late husband Dick Lundquist who is the primary reason we have an AED on site. Dick urged and finally convinced us several years ago to purchase the AED (a significant purchase!) and now we have saved a life because of it.

I’d say it was worth every penny.
