3. Blood Drives

     Campus Blood Drive
        This semester's blood drive was a success!
        We will have another blood drive next semester.
           Watch for more information!

     Chapter Blood Drives
        Drives will continue next semester (first and third Monday of
           each month)
        We need more volunteers for these drives and may e-mail other
           groups such as MAPs and APO to get volunteers.

4. Bone Marrow Drive

     The bone marrow drive that we sponsored was very successful!
     328 potential donors were registered!
     Thank you to everyone who signed up as potential bone marrow donors
        and to those who volunteered at the drive!

5. Together We Prepare

     Preparations are underway and plans are to run this program in
        February or March at Geneseo, Mt. Morris, and Avon.
     We will need volunteers to facilitate in the fourth grade classrooms
        during this program. It is a great opportunity to get involved in
        the club and the community!
     Look for more information early next semester

6. Other Classes and Fundraisers

     Next semester we will be holding CPR/First Aid/AED classes and National
        Disaster Training classes (Mass Care and Shelter Operations)
     We will be looking into possibilities for other classes that may be of
        interest to students.
     These classes are a great way to gain skills and become certified by
        the American Red Cross to provide help to others in need! Look for
        more information on these classes next semester!
     We are looking into fundraising opportunities for the spring semester
        and are open to suggestions.

7. Council of Service Organizations

     This is a group with representatives from the service organizations on
        campus that works to address the needs of service groups.
     If you would like to get involved and represent the Red Cross Club in
        CSO, e-mail redcross at geneseo.edu or come to meetings next semester
        for more information.

8. Meetings Next Semester

     Meeting day and time will be changing next semester.
     The new meeting day will likely be Tuesday or Thursday
     Watch your e-mail for information on meetings next semester!
