I've been working on the Steering Committee for the event, and we're thrilled that the event is nearly here! The goal of our launch party is to educate young professionals about the Club Red and the American Red Cross while having a fun cocktail party complete with drinks, desserts, music and more. Attendees will learn about the various service areas of the Red Cross and have a chance to win Disaster Kits.

 

I think that many young professionals like myself are looking for ways to become more involved in the community, but don’t know what organizations to contact, how they can help or how to even begin the process. Club Red offers a way to support a great cause while also networking with other professionals their age. Through Club Red, we'll have the opportunity to learn skills that will help our personal lives, volunteer in ways that improves the lives of others, and raise funds for international needs, such as Haiti. I'm excited to help spread the word about this great new group and to attract the next generation of supporters, donors and volunteers.

 

 

Club Red’s kick-off event, “Flirting with Disaster,” will be held at The Thaxton in downtown St. Louis on February 5^th. For $30 in advance or $35 at the door, attendees will enjoy drinks as well as a wonderful dessert buffet donated by local bakeries and restaurants. In addition, we’ll have a great DJ providing the soundtrack and Goodeye Photoshare will be onsite with a fun photo booth.

 

This party is sure to be a great time so register today! If you’re on facebook, you can also become a fan of the St. Louis Area Chapter and send the event invite to your friends.

 

I can’t wait to see everyone there!
