A welcome and recruitment event for current, former and new Red Cross volunteers is planned for Tuesday, Oct. 26, from 7 p.m. to 9 p.m. at the Lakeport Senior Center, 527 Konocti Ave.
All are welcome to attend.
The event will include information about classes and volunteer opportunities, as well as snacks. It will feature class sign-ups for CPR and first aid, volunteer sign-ups for disaster sheltering and emergency response vehicle training, and volunteer sign-ups for Service to the Armed Forces.
The primary Red Cross activities in Lake County now include disaster response, CPR classes and Service to the Armed Forces. Red Cross continues to maintain an office at the Lake County Fairgrounds, 401 Martin St., Lakeport.
The new arrangement allows the Red Cross to provide better support to the community in Lake County. Yolo County Red Cross, which was formerly combined with Lake County, is now part of the Sacramento-Sierra Chapter.
Interested individuals can call for more information about the volunteer event or the Red Cross in general: Pam Plank, disaster chair, Lake County Red Cross, 707-272-3665, or call the Red Cross office at the Fairgrounds, 401 Martin St., Lakeport, 707-263-8451.
American Red Cross, Sonoma & Mendocino Counties (which includes Lake County) is a neutral, humanitarian organization that provides relief to victims of disasters, and prepares people to prevent and respond to emergencies.
Like all Red Cross chapters, the local chapter is self-sustaining and is funded by local contributions. All assistance to disaster victims and to members of the armed forces provided by the Chapter is free and made possible by voluntary donations of time and money by the people of Sonoma and Mendocino Counties.
