Had another breakthrough today.

Jan Everett the Red Cross emergency home alarms tas. State coordinator has agreed to pensioners paying for panic pendants monthly.

New are $400. 2nd hand are $200. Yearly monitoring fees are $220.

So a pensioner with a 2nd hand pendant with year of fees will now pay $35 per month for the 1st year or $55 with a new one.

This effectively frees up charities for other ventures and the pensioner is happy not asking for money.

Once again a 1st for the Derwent Valley!
