If you’re interested in preparing yourself to provide assistance in the event of an emergency, you should consider attending the free Red Cross volunteer training session scheduled for Sunday, September 23rd.
This training course is being held in conjunction with the Starke County COAD’s efforts to form a local Disaster Action Team. The course will be held at the Our Redeemer Lutheran Church in Knox. Prospective volunteers should show up around noon CST.
The whole program will run about for about 2 hours and participants will learn the basics about various aspects related to volunteering for disaster response and recovery with the Red Cross.
Parish Nurse Sharon Krick said that about a dozen individuals have already signed up to participate. Krick added that she would like to get a head count before the event because a light lunch will be provided.
If you’re interested in attending contact her at 219-205-0033.
