Our Red Cross Volunteer Courtesy of Judy Talley, President's Office Judy Talley, who works in the President's Office, recently helped out as a volunteer with the American Red Cross to assist in the relief effort in the northern and central counties that were devastated by the flooding. Since Judy has taken numerous Red Cross classes and is trained in disaster relief, the Bay Area Chapter asked if she could be released to help out. The President generously agreed to release Judy for nine days in early January. She administered the volunteer recruitment effort at the Oakland Red Cross headquarters.
Every family has a traditional way to celebrate the holidays.
In the Office of Institutional Advancement, the staff has exchanged one tradition for another. In years gone by each staff member would buy a Christmas tree ornament to exchange at the annual holiday lunch. But some staff were feeling overwhelmed with the number of ornaments, especially those who didn't put a tree up in their home. About three years ago the staff stopped the ornament exchange. Now every staff member is encouraged to make a gift to a local community charity.
