Always there.

Wendy and I spent eight hours at the American Red Cross Chapter Center today getting trained as Disaster Volunteers. We were inspired. And, as of 5pm today, we're a part of an amazing humanitarian family and ready to help when needed.

As Reserve Volunteers we'll be able to take courses through the Red Cross to learn more about Disaster Relief Services and focus our development and expertise. It's exciting to think that we can be part of the immediate help that people need in emergencies ranging from a flood, to a fire, to a hurricane. I'm also praying that there aren't too many of those and that people are safe and healthy.

I encourage everyone to take a look at the American Red Cross website and see how you can help. Also, take a look at the work the Greater New York Chapter does:
