Every Minute Counts
Plan to attend a free fundraising lunch, EVERY MINUTE COUNTS, in support of your local Red Cross Chapter on Wednesday May 12, 2010.
The first Every Minute Counts fundraising lunch in May of 2009 was attended by over 400 Red Cross friends. Guests heard true stories of lives touched by our local Red Cross and then pledged support of our services.

If you would like to become a member of the Changing Lives Society, please contact Jacquie Batchelder, (330) 453-0146 x112.

Pandemic Flu Seminar
On behalf of the admistrators and faculty who attended the Pandemic Flu Seminar at Kent State University Stark I thank you and the Red Cross for this informative and valuable service. Tim Andreotti and Matt Sweeney did a great job explaining the benefits of preparedness and responding to questions and comments. The campus will be better equipped to handle the possible flu epidemic, if it should occur.
We would be happy to give the Red Cross a recommendation for this seminar if any higher education institutions are considering it.
Thank you again for generously providing this service to our community. This is just one more way that the Red Cross shows how much they care.
Sincerely, Cynthia Williams |
Be Red Cross Ready. Flu checklist.
