Red Cross seeks volunteers to restart Russell door to door drive
The Canadian Red Cross Society plans a March door to door campaign in Russell, seeking volunteers and a chairperson. Past campaigns raised over $2,500 in 1989. A spring 1990 canvass was skipped due to lack of volunteers, preferring a full mail drive, with hopes to reestablish a 400F door to door effort in Russell. Contact the Regional office at 138-9207 for involvement or questions.
