John Muir Disaster Supplies Day

Thank you all for coming to this activity! We all got some serious (and for some of us--desperately needed!) exercise, lugging 5 gallon water and restocking supplies. Plus it was interesting get an inside look at how schools stay ready for disasters--just another example of Red Cross' involvement in our community.
Mr. Sherman, the principal of John Muir, graciously said, our team "was energetic, focused and very effective." Speaking for his kids, he thanked us: "Having our big brothers and sisters help out was very much appreciated."

So keep up the good work everyone and go to activities!

Come help Saratoga Parent Nursery School with their 2009 Silent Auction! Volunteers are needed to be table hosts, pass out hors d'oeuvres, help with cashiering, etc! It'll be a fun event and perhaps you'll get free hors d'oeuvres! Wear black slacks and white shirts. Great activity if you're short on hours!

Do you want to shower little kids with your infinite knowledge (about Basic Aid)? Well, then get trained to teach first. Many new volunteer opportunities will open for you afterwards.

You absolutely must sign up BEFORE Wednesday (2/11) for us to register you a seat; classes fill up at the speed of 6.022 x 10^23 m/s (speed of light)!
BUT be absolutely positive you can go. NO flaking.

IMPORTANT EDIT:

The Walk! Red Cross Booth and More

We need 5 (just 5!) people to help us at our booth during The Walk in the Lynbrook field, this Friday February 6th, from 2:00-6:00 (come at 3:00 if you have a seventh). Sign up by leaving a comment below.

For everyone else, go out and: WALK!!! Get your sponsor cards from our YahooGroup, find someone who believes in your athletic ability, and run out laps on Friday. Then jog back to your donors, show them the timed stamp cards, and get the donations. Bring us the funds, and we'll generously award hours (depending on amount of money raised).

All the money will go towards HydrAid, which provides free filters to countries where water sanitation is a major problem.

Help a good cause, and burn some calories!
