Speaker Presentation:
This week we had a visit from Kristin Pollard and Judith Vardamis with the American Red Cross. They educated our members about their mission, which is to prevent and alleviate human suffering in the face of emergencies by mobilizing the power of volunteers and the generosity of donors.
Did you know that 94% of their workforce is made up of volunteers in our communities?
They provide blood services, service the armed forces, health and safety preparedness, CPR services, and disaster services to those in need.
You can become a Red Cross volunteer. Volunteers are currently needed to go to Texas for a minimum of 10 days at a time. You can also donate blood, and there are other ways to help as well.
For more information, check out their website at www.MaineRedCross.org. You can also reach Julie at 874-1192 ext 102. Have a great week everyone!
