This week: In Service. Come prepared for the monthly committee meetings.
Last Week: Jocelyn Gilman, the Executive Director of the Red Cross of Northern New Jersey, gave a presentation on disaster preparedness. The Red Cross’ motto is “Get a kit. Be prepared. Be informed” and Joselyn gave us a list of ways to prepare ahead of time for emergencies which might occur in our community. In addition to assembling a kit containing food, water, medical supplies and important documents, Jocelyn emphasized the importance of preparing in advance for some of the most common emergencies, such as house fires, and establishing a common contact for family members who is outside of the geographic area. The Red Cross receives no government funding and is 94% staffed by volunteers.
Guests: Richard Radcliffe.
