The coronavirus pandemic is changing the way people celebrate major events and holidays— including the Mile-High chapter of the American Red Cross of Colorado.
Each year, the Mile-High Chapter holds its Annual Meeting to elect new Board Members, thank and bid farewell to outgoing Board members and to recognize accomplishments of our amazing volunteers. This year was no exception. Last night, June 17, board members, volunteers and employees gathered virtually for the 2020 Annual Meeting and Volunteer Recognition Event.
Together, but from the comfort our individual homes, we voted, approved and welcomed 1st, 2nd and 3rd term Board Members.
