American Red Cross begins
volunteer recruitment drive
With hurricane season
fully underway and tornadoes,
flooding and home fires
an ever-present threat, the
American Red Cross is asking
the public to consider
learning more about becoming
a disaster volunteer this
year.
“Having a trained, prepared,
and ready-to-help team
of volunteers is one of the
most valuable resources a
community can rely on when
disaster strikes,” said Chris
Diefenthaler, director of
American Red Cross of Wood
County. “Often, it takes a disaster
of great proportion, as
Hurricane Katrina was, to remind
people that volunteers
are needed.”
In an effort to build upon
the strong team of volunteers
called upon to respond to
larger relief efforts across the
country each year, the Red

and parking is free at
Main Library for all registrants.
A reverse job fair is an
event where job seekers are
the exhibitors.
Job seekers construct displays
and receive on-thespot
interviews from
employers.
To help job seekers prepare
for this Reverse Job
Fair, a special EOPA orientation
is planned and required
