Mark Your Calendars for the 2011 Gala Salute

The Greater Manchester Chapter of the American Red Cross is once again holding its Gala Salute. The date for this event is September 24, 2011. The Gala Salute honors the strength and compassion of our military and all the sacrifices that they make.



If you didn’t get to attend the 2010 Gala Salute you missed a great evening. There was a live auction, music from the Compaq Big Band, award presentation, dancing and more.

The Gala Salute brings together all the people and groups who are dedicated to serving their community and showing their gratitude for our armed forces.

The 2011 Gala Salute will continue with this tradition of gathering people, businesses and community leaders, dedicated to the community, to pay tribute to our military.

We hope to see you there.

Volunteering with the Greater Manchester Chapter

Are you interested in helping your community become greater? There are many positions available, in a variety of areas, for people looking to volunteer.

A few positions that we are currently looking for someone to fill are:

• Government Relations volunteer
• Front desk receptionist
  

The duties of the Government Relations volunteer would be to attend town meetings and then report the information back to us. This is a great way to help your community through your local Red Cross chapter, as well as becoming more involved in local political matters.

The front desk receptionist would be responsible for answering the phone calls that come into the chapter and directing them to the proper person.

Volunteering is a great way to learn something about your community and give back to it at the same time. There are many opportunities available, so come by and we’ll find something that suits you

If these positions sound like something you’d like to do, or you’re interested in volunteering with the Greater Manchester Chapter of the American Red Cross in another way, contact Caela Goumas, Volunteer Coordinator, at (603) 624-4307 or GoumasC@usa.redcross.org.
