A few days ago, I provided a brief biography of this amazing woman who, through her compassion and determination, formed The American Red Cross as an organization, and as a spirit that has left a indelible mark on our nation. Today I want to briefly talk about The Clara Barton Society, which was formed to honor Americans who share the qualities that Clara Barton possessed, and instilled in the organization she founded.
The Clara Barton Society honors your total, annual giving in support of your local Chapter of The American Red Cross. All types of gifts, cash contributions, securities, property, and the value of goods and services, go towards your membership in the Society. There are four different levels that the Clara Barton Society recognizes . First, as a Friend ($1,000-$4,999), second, as a Sponsor ($5,000-$9,999), third, as a Pacesetter ($10,000-$24,999), and fourth, as a Benefactor ($25,000-$49,999).
As a member of The Clara Barton Society, you are an active partner in carrying out the work of The American Red Cross. You will also learn exactly how your contribution is being used to help people in need of services provided by The American Red Cross.
If you are interested in becoming a member of The Clara Barton Society contact your local Chapter of The American Red Cross. They will be happy to provide you with more information, and other ways in which you can contribute to The American Red Cross.
The Clara Barton Society and The Tiffany Circle Society of Women Leaders highlight what can be achieved when like-minded individuals make a concerted, genuine effort to contribute to their local community. Obviously, donations can take many forms, all of which are greatly appreciated . In addition to more commonly donated items, used cars and vehicles can be particularly valuable as donations.
You do not need to be part of a society to help aid the work of your local Chapter of The American Red Cross. Making a contribution, whether it is time, goods or money means that you are a part of the difference your local Chapter makes to people in your community.
