Subject: Smoke Alarm Installation Event--THANK YOU!
Good afternoon,
We here at the American Red Cross serving Eastern Missouri would like to take this opportunity to extend a big THANK YOU for helping us with our smoke alarm installation event over the weekend of March 7-8.
Because you were willing to give of your time, we were able to reach over 320 homes and install over 500 alarms!
None of this would have been possible with you, our wonderful volunteers.
· It was you who helped in the weeks leading up to the event, calling residents to confirm addresses and helping to recruit additional volunteers.
· It was you who helped put all of the materials—smoke alarms, batteries, paperwork, etc.—together before the event.
· It was you who spent several hours on either Saturday, Sunday, or both going to different homes with fire fighters to help install alarms and share lifesaving preparedness information.
· And it was you who made a wonderful impression on the residents of St. Louis whom you talked to. We have heard only amazing things about this event; a true testimony of your ability.
We have included a picture of all the homes we were able to reach over our two-day event. The green points are the homes we had identified heading in to the weekend. The yellow dots are the additional homes we were able to reach.
Again, THANK YOU for helping to make this the largest—and one of the most successful—installation canvassing events our region has held so far!
(P.S. If you enjoyed this event and would like to help again, we will be holding another event the weekend of April 18-19. More details to come! J)
