American Red Cross

Melody Thoennes, Treasurer of the Alexandria Red Cross, was our guest today and was introduced by Lee Hockert. Melody spoke about the many services the Red Cross provides besides emergency care such as local swimming lessons and aiding military family members. Melody and her husband Bill(who shucked corn with us the morning of the Corn & Chop Feed) have a son that is soon leaving to serve our country in Iraq.
