New Jersey Women - Clara Barton Afterthought
09 Mar 2008
As I was typing the post yesterday about Clara Barton, and how she started the first public school in the US right here in New Jersey, then went on to start and oversee The Red Cross, it didn’t occur to me that this month is considered American Red Cross month. We do have much to thank the Red Cross for, if you haven’t visited their website to see all that they have accomplished, you may want to do so today.
If you listen to the news, you know that it seems like disasters are happening more, and whenever they happen, the Red Cross is there.

2008 Mar 09 1Too right mate! The red cross never drop their guard, constantly campaigning for donors and support, always ‘johhny on the spot’ in time of need! Way to go Clara! If I didn’t have such a fear of needles…maybe oneday someone somewhere will find a solution to this, maybe they could anaesthetise me first???
Anyhow, that’s just me, if you are NOT a coward, get in to your nearest blood bank and support these wonderful people, or do what I do, give them a donation of money!
