Red Cross reorganizes Callaway County office

After eight years as manager of the Callaway County Red Cross office, Anne Johnson learned this week that her position has been eliminated by Red Cross officials effective on Sept. 2.

The Callaway County office of the Red Cross is a branch of the Capital Area Chapter of the Red Cross. It has an office in Fulton on the west side of the John C. Harris Community Center.

Beth Bauer, executive director of the Capital Area Chapter of the Red Cross, said the Capital Area chapter covers 21 counties in Central Missouri and the job Johnson now holds will be converted from part-time to a full-time position.

To help the tornado-stricken people of Dumas and surroundings, donations can be made to the Delta Area Disaster Relief Fund, care of the Delta Area Community Foundation, P.O. Box 894, Dumas, AR, 71639, or through the Arkansas Community Foundation, 700 S. Rock St., Little Rock, AR, 72202.
