Program for Today: Our own Brooke Mehaffey provided highlights of Red Cross, looking locally, regionally and nationally!! She put us into the mindset of thinking about the many disasters that Red Cross helps with....housefires, military messages, floods, tornadoes etc. Red Cross is about providing Emergency Services, as well as, providing Health Safety, CPR, Youth Training, storms, floods and fires!! It is a 24/7 link to phones and money. It is volunteer driven. Brooke is the Director for 4 counties with a part time staff person in Burlington.
Disaster volunteers are on call at least 1% of them monthly and are ready to go. When there is a fire... the Fire Department calls them to arrange for shelter and food. Regionally there are 28 counties with 13 offices from Rockford to Lee County. In regard to fundraising funds stay local unless designated. Our Red Cross office has moved to 1502 Plaza Place.
Red Cross members are the first responders and are the calm stable handholders with knowledge of the different agencies within the community whether in Muscatine or Louisa Counties. Americorp helps with programming by delivering youth programs that range from Whales Tales, Scrubby Bear and the most popular "Poison Game" What is in this jar? Gummy Bears, Gummy Vitamins, Red Hots or Sudafed, Water or Rubbing Alcohol?
Red Cross is helping with the Olympics by providing volunteers and general preparedness and response to this major event. Brooke wants a copy of the manual that was prepared for the Olympics which is a multilingual phrase book.
