Happy New Year!
We hope you're enjoying a happy, healthy and
safe holiday season. And we want you to stay
that way by adding an important New Year's
resolution to your list. Resolve to be ready!
You'll read about that and much more in our
January 2010 Emergency Services newsletter.
Disaster hasn't taken a holiday, and neither
have our ES staff and volunteers. In
December, the Red Cross responded to 81
disasters, providing emergency assistance to
378 people.
Thank you for all you do to support your Red
Cross.
All the best,
Tom Foley
CEO

The holidays are a time for remembering those
who do so much for us. Please know that
though they may not know your name, the gift
of your time and your treasure to the Red
Cross has made a difference for thousands of
people in this region who spread their dreams
under your feet.
