In an organization as old as the Red Cross (our chapter is a strapping 92 years old!), you find some odd things tucked away in corners. For instance, if you venture down to the closets in one of our classrooms, you will find a wealth of forgotten treasures, artifacts, and memorabilia.
Our trusty AmeriCorps members, Cassidhe and Amanda, have taken it upon themselves to sort, organize, and catalog the entire stash. So of course, I took a camera and went to document:
"This is just half of it!" says Cassidhe.
Our chapter's annual report from 1945, the year World War II ended.
Cassidhe and Amanda model some of the large stack of awkward red, poofy pants that were unearthed. We're thinking...new staff uniforms?
"Why not, when they are so universally flattering?" I say.
