In 1943, President Roosevelt was the first president to declare the month of March Red Cross month. Sixty five years later, we invite you to celebrate March 2008 with us at community events and promotions highlighting Red Cross services and volunteers.

Disaster Services Training Conference
March 26-29
This conference is filled with Red Cross information for the novice and more established volunteer willing to offer a few hours of time to helping others affected by a fire, tornado or other disaster. For more information or to pre-register, contact us.

Blood Drives
March 1-30
The cold weather and snow storm has kept many at home this winter and disrupting blood drives, causing the Red Cross to lose more than 1200 blood and platelet donations. Help us help those who need blood. Visit a blood drive near you or visit our Waukesha Blood Donation Center on a Tuesday or Thursday afternoon.

You can also find the Red Cross on placemats at local restaurants, on Milwaukee County buses, and at BODY WORLDS 1 at the Milwaukee Public Museum. The possibilities are endless---come and check out the Red Cross at a community event or blood drive near you!
