Title: The American Red Cross
Doctor Blogger
I am in Baltimore attending the National Convention of the American Red Cross. Having been a volunteer with this organization for a number of years, I decided it was time to get a closer look at the inner workings and national leadership that fuel the spirit of the thousands of volunteers that are the American Red Cross. Despite the negative press that has sometimes dogged the ARC, the spirit of giving, sharing, and compassion is paramount and visible at every level in the organization. And, it is especially apparent with the people the ARC is partnering with to develop ways to meet the challenges of the future. These partners include sports celebrities, other outreach organizations, youth and students from high schools as well as colleges, and multi-ethnic groups.
Title: Red Cross Convention
Fusion
By now most anybody that actually reads this blog will realize that after teaching using technology, the other activity I delight in is volunteering with the Red Cross. I’ve said before that I’ve always considered myself lucky that my local chapters have been willing to accept my students along with me, because I haven’t always been that fortunate with other volunteer organizations. And, I am absolutely delighted to see that the Red Cross has joined the 21st Century during the 2008 National Convention. They are live blogging, posting updates via Twitter.
