Concussions In Sports - There has been much talk in the media lately about concussions. While there has been a reported increase in athletes suffering concussions, some of this may be attributed to a better understanding of concussions. New research now points out that minor head injuries may in fact be concussions. You do not need to lose consciousness to be diagnosed as suffering a concussion. Concussions can cause serious health issues later in life if athletes are permitted to return to sports before they are fully healed. It is important for coaches to recognize concussion symptoms and to provide proper care when they do occur. The PAL is requiring all coaches to complete a free online course to help better recognize and understand concussions. After you complete the class you can print off a certificate indicating you have completed the course. The course can be taken at www.cdc.gov/concussion
Life - While it may be difficult to root for the opposing team, a story such as this puts things in perspective.
Give, Without Giving - Huh? How would you like to donate to the PAL without a penny coming out of your pocket? If you have a checking or savings account at Boiling Springs Bank, the PAL can make money through your participation in the Community Alliance Program. This program is completely anonymous (we don't know who the participants are or their balances) and the money comes from the bank, not your account. For more information on the program, click here. To enroll in the program, next time you are at the bank let them know, or complete this form and drop off at the bank. If you are looking to open a new checking or savings account, this is a GREAT reason to select Boiling Springs and a GREAT opportunity to help support the PAL programs.
