Region 2 Chapter
Voluntary Protection Programs Participants' Association
2007.  He has been the Region II VPP Manager for the past 18 years.  
One of Norman’s passions is to foster the use of Automated External Defibrillators
to help save lives. In his honor, the Region II VPPPA Board of Directors has
established the "Norman Deitch AED Fund”.

The Board is soliciting donations from members to purchase AEDs for worthwhile
community groups in honor of Norman’s many years of service and his retirement.
Donations of any amount will be accepted and appreciated.

A company can make a recommendation for a worthy non-profit organization in their
area to receive an AED.  Examples of acceptable organizations include:  Police,
Fire, or EMS departments, churches, youth groups such as Scouts or Little League,
social groups such as the Elks or Knights of Columbus, and veteran groups such
as the VFW or American Legion.

Checks should be made payable to Region II VPPPA and sent to Brenda Tipsword
at the following address:
