They all are emergencies to which the American Red Cross volunteers are the first to respond with care and relief. The American Red Cross in Delaware honored these volun- teers at its annual Volunteer Recognition at the State Troopers Association in Cheswold. "The commitment and dedica- tion of Red Cross volunteers en- sures our promise to the commu- nity that we'll be there," said Su- san Grimes-Strawbridge, manag- er of volunteer development. "Some of our volunteers are out in the middle of the night, making sure fire victims have a safe, dry place to stay. Others are teaching people how to save lives using CPR, or driving people without transportation to urgently needed medical appointments," Straw- bridge noted. "Volunteers are the heartbeat of our organization. Without them, there would be no Red Cross. We can't do enough to thank them," said Shirley Bryan, volunteer ad- ministrator for the Southern of- rice. The Clara Barton Award, which represents the highest level of recognition for leadership and service by a volunteer, was pre- sented to Edith Tinsman during the recognition ceremony. A Red Cross volunteer for 11 years, Tinsman exemplifies the true spirit of the Red Cross through her compassion and self- less giving, Grimes-Strawbridge said. "Red Cross is the beacon in the dark for people who have no hope," Tinsman said. "I've met a lot of good folks who take less than they could have in order to give to others. I always try to give them a hug to let them know they are not lost, and that we'll be here for them." For more information about the Red Cross, visit the Web site, <www.redcrossdelaware.org>.
