Red Cross
Shelter Exercise
Come one, come all, and come quick to the American Red Cross
Emergency Shelter Exercise. The call went out that the Red Cross
will set-up, open and run a shelter at St. Henry's Catholic Church
in Gresham. Thirty Troop 542 scouts and parents migrated to the
shelter location Friday April 22nd, 2005 for dinner, an evening of
games and entertainment, a good nights sleep, and a hot breakfast
Saturday morning.
Some of our "displaced victims" (Troop 542
volunteers) received "rolls" to play during the shelter exercise
to give the Red Cross Volunteers a chance to deal with difficult
people and situations. It was a blast!

a "role" to play for the duration of his stay. From the
responses of some of the other participants, CJ doesn't need
acting lessons. |

salad, a drink, and dessert. |

Cots, cots everywhere and not a place to
