Our Chapter is giving local schools the
safety program
The chapter was provided a $5,000 grant by the Community Foundation of Middle Tennessee, distributors of millions of dollars in grants to community programs and institutions, to fund the Masters of Disaster program, which teaches elementary, middle and junior high school students
"the skills and knowledge they need to prepare for, recognize and recover from hazards and disasters," according to a news release.
The Red Cross is now in the process of spreading the word to our local schools so they can train instructors how to teach the material so that our
school systems can reap the benefits internally.

Red Cross vehicle ravaged by fire.
By JAKE LOWARY
• The Leaf-Chronicle • April 18, 2008
Early Friday morning the renovated ambulance used by the Clarksville-Montgomery County American Red Cross to provide essential emergency services was destroyed by fire. And volunteers for the ARC believe it was not a freak occurrence.
Clarksville Police confirmed Friday morning that a man has been charged in connection to the arson, in addition to burglary of another nearby store.
Sgt. Cheryl Anderson said Eric John Waye, 38, has been charged with two counts of burglary and one count of arson. Anderson said Waye allegedly burglarized Southern Secrets on Crossland Avenue in addition to the ARC vehicle, to which he also allegedly set fire.
The incident comes at a particularly bad time for the chapter, said Director Cecil Stout, as they were planning on using the vehicle during the Rivers & Spires Festival this weekend, at an Earth Day celebration Friday at Fort Campbell and most certainly in the wake of a 5.2 magnitude earthquake that rattled Clarksville overnight Thursday.
