 To commemorate March as Red Cross
Month, a
Proclamation
has been signed and issued by
President Barack Obama, a tradition upheld by every U.S.
President dating back to Franklin D. Roosevelt in 1943.
In every disaster response and relief effort, volunteers
are the cornerstone of what the Red Cross does; they are
96 percent of the work force of the Red Cross—without
their giving spirit, disaster relief operations would
fall short, blood donations would not be there for those
in need, and the mission of the Red Cross could not be
fulfilled. From helping military families stay connected
with service members around the world, teaching CPR and
first aid in community centers, or supporting other Red
Cross and Red Crescent Societies with emergencies around
the world, volunteers are critical to the success of
each and every Red Cross endeavor. During the month of
March, in celebration of Red Cross Month and in the
spirit of volunteerism, the Red Cross is also launching
the first ever
Change a Life
contest.
Entrants are invited to tell us
how a Red Cross experience changed your life or someone
else’s life. This month serves as an occasion to honor
and thank the members of our Red Cross family and also
as a reminder that the American Red Cross makes a
difference everyday in communities around the nation and
the world. |

Terry Fator is a marvel, a word I've not used in
my 10 years of chronicling entertainment on the Strip. I can't
remember an opening crowd that had so much fun. The hunch here
is that he's going to be at The Mirage for a long time........... |
