   Public Issues - Day of Service - January 20, 2020
Club Members spent a few hours making  Paracord Bracelets for Operation Gratitude.

   How can a Paracord Survival Bracelet be Used?
All who serve use paracord, which gets its name from parachute cord and can hold up to 550 lbs. of weight.  The bracelet provides 7.5 feet of cord in an emergency.  Bracelets can be used to:
    Secure camouflage nets to trees or vehicles
    Build a makeshift shelter
    Extend a security strap or rope to reach and haul heavy objects
    Create a harness to extract an injured person from a bad location
    Make a sling or splint
