Our new chapter Receptionist/Registrar Sylvia Randolph has been drinking the Red Cross Kool-Aid! She couldn't wait to get signed up for some disaster training and sign up for an overnight shift on the canteen truck. For those of you who don't know - the canteen is the first Red Cross vehicle to arrive on the scene of a disaster. The canteen is stocked with snacks & drinks and many other disaster essentials.
Last night, Sylvia got her first disaster call and this is what she had to say about it:
3 Alarm, Single Family Fire in Arlington. Indeed, I did! Responded to my first fire, on the first night out with the (Nighthawk) canteen! Other Disaster Action Team (DAT) members that responded, Scott F. (team lead) and Roderick S., are wonderful! Both gave me tremendous support and explained some other tricks of the trades which helped me gain further confidence in my new volunteer position. Special thanks to JD for his awesome commitment in training to make sure “We are ready when they call!”
Thank you to Sylvia and all of the wonderful volunteers who are always there to help their neighbors in need!
