Congratulations to Merry Tamashiro who was named Maui Red Cross Volunteer Of The Year. Merry is usually the first on the scene and is a disaster team leader. Her willingness to help others, manage a team, organize and disperse supplies, and be ready even before disaster strikes is an inspiration. Her dedication makes her a well deserving recipient of the award! Merry will be honored on March 24th at the Maui Heroes Luncheon.

The Red Cross has an estimated 140 volunteers but could always use more hands. Most of the requirements necessary to become a volunteer are able to be completed online.

Congratulations again and warmest mahalo to Merry and to all volunteers willing to help others!
