Northwestern region from Alaska to Washington conducts the THIRD RED CROSS ROLL CALL November 2 to 11. The drive is a voluntary enrollment emphasizing belief in Red Cross ideals with the slogan All you need is a heart and a dollar.
The Red Cross remains the disaster relief agent of the American people and must sustain universal membership. It highlights relief from Corpus Christi to epidemics, urging local chapters to act quickly in disasters, influenza threats, and ongoing global aid through universal cooperation and organized resources.
A Red Cross button, the most worn emblem worldwide, symbolizes countless acts of charity. In America a season of opportunity spreads its reach as people share their badges, including a Northwestern county man who gave his button to his twelfth child, saying the family must join in when goodness happens.
A call to join the Red Cross emphasizes service to fellowmen as the world’s finest act. It invites donations of one dollar, appealing to readers' hearts to support relief efforts for those in distress.
