SWIM-A-CROSS: YOU'VE STILL GOT
TIME TO GET WET!
Swim-A-Cross has already begun, but there's still time to
get your swim group involved while raising money for the Red Cross and
your own club. Swim-A-Cross is a great tool to learn water safety,
teambuilding, fundraising, and just plain have some fun! Last year,
twenty-five teams swam for the Red Cross, getting generous sponsorships
for every lap they swam, and donating half the proceeds to support this
local Red Cross chapter. The other half was kept for their swim club
and supported their efforts. There's still time to sign up.
Registration forms are also available online at
www.centex.redcross.org/events/swimacross.php. We (and Longfellow the Whale) look forward to seeing you
this summer!

WORLD REFUGEE DAY: JUNE 20
Every year on June 20, the world honors the courage,
resilience and strength of refugees. On this anniversary of the
United Nations-designated World Refugee Day, organizations across the
globe will come together to focus attention not only on the plight of
refugees, but also on the contributions they make in their host
communities. On this day, the American Red Cross and the other 185
national Red Cross and Red Crescent societies around the world will
reaffirm the needs of refugees and our commitment to help them at home
and abroad. Locally, the American Red Cross of Central Texas serves a
vital role in restoring family links due to separation by war or
other disasters or emergencies through emergency communications and
tracing services.
