Community Appreciates Efforts of Red Cross Members Red Cross exemplified true Rebel spirit by donating hun- dreds of volunteer hours to the community in many appreci- ated ways. Club members started the year by clearing sec- tions of Potter's Field and painting and placing markers over grave sites not formerly marked. This became a regular project. A Leadership Training Center was held in October at Bluff Springs, highlighted by Mr. Jim Thomas. After workshops were completed, it was time for recreation. Softball, volley- ball and ping pong were some of the games enjoyed, but the canoe races were the high point of the Saturday afternoon. A mock disaster was staged to show those not acquainted with first-aid how to cope with emergency situations. Two club members were chosen by the Pensacola Chapter of the Amer- ican Red Cross to attend a similar center in Birmingham, Alabama, the latter part of the month. In its efforts as a service organization, Red Cross gave a Halloween party for Petree School and decorated hospital wards at NAS for the Christmas season. To add more holi- days cheer, members sang Christmas carols in five wards of the hospital. The Sixth Annual Memorial Services were held on Novem- ber 9, with President Laurie McKerlie presiding and State Representative Grover Robinson III as guest speaker. Rebels who were killed in action in Viet Nam were honored along with previous veterans. Red Cross began bowling with the Cerebral Palsy children in November. Since then, club members have kept score and helped those in wheelchairs roll balls off a special ramp for two hours every other Saturday. This brought many an after- noon of fun and joy to handicapped children. Laura McKerlie, president, feels that the desire to help and the unselfish attitudes exhibited by Red Cross members make them very special people. E Red Cross devotes their Saturday moming to the children of Cerebral Palsy, so that they may have a little excitement in their lives. 98

Both a cooperative educa- tion club and service club, the group worked to gain career experience and training. A member, Carol Williams feels, If it wasn't for DCT I wou1dn't have been able to get a job be- cauze I was considered too young and too inexperienced. DCT was very valuable to me. The year's activities included the Halloween and Christmas parties for Petree School. The club held car washes and douglmut sales to send the group to Crestview for the District Packer, Linda Parish, Linda Roberts, Sheila Rhymes, Janet Salter, Rannah Sasnett, Becky Stephens, Debra Tennant, Susan Tibbetts, Nancy White, Susie Williams, Carol 'I00 I C.E.C.F.
