Honoring Our Volunteers: Past, Present and Future

Volunteers are the heart of our organization. Without these hardworking, dedicated and generous individuals, it would be nearly impossible to carry out our work. We try to recognize our volunteers and let them know how special they are on a regular basis, but during National Volunteer Week (April 20 - May 3), we really step things up! This time is reserved to truly celebrate and thank our volunteers for all they continue to do to fulfill our mission. Whether you spend your time responding to fires, teaching our community about health & safety or filing important paperwork...you help us do things better and for that we thank you!

If you are a Red Cross volunteer or donor, we invite you to join us for a Sunday Jazz Brunch on April 26 as we celebrate and acknowledge you for your dedication of time, talent and service. Enjoy our brunch buffet while being entertained by a jazz band trio. The event will also feature guest speaker Hill Harper of the hit CBS show CSI: NY! In addition, we’ll be distributing chapter milestone pins and giving away some fabulous door prizes.

Don’t miss out on this great event Red Cross donors and volunteers!
