ith Enjoyment Red Cross Helps Many Other People I believe that anyone who enjoys helping people would enjoy being a member of Red Cross, says Patricia Ford. Red Cross aims at helping the community by conducting many worthwhile activities. Red Cross, which is affiliated with the American National Red Cross. has membership open to any student wishing to work. Members attend workshops and camps conducted by the American National Red Cross. Last summer, all Red Cross officers attended a week-long youth camp at McDavid. They learned numerous new skills and they also entertained Red Cross guests from Japan. A memorial service honoring Escambia High students killed in Vietnam is conducted each year. Community activities are conducted by Red Cross throughout the year. Activities include helping at the Crippled Children's Home, and working at the Women's Home. Red Cross is also involved in activities with the Health Department. The club helped escort retarded children to the fair and visited the hospital at the Naval Air Station. The Kidney Telethon was held to raise money for the local Northwest Florida Artificial Kidney Center during which S300 was raised. The year is climaxed with a banquet at which club members from all area high schools attend.
