Red Cross selected as state's Green Thumb Project of Month

James M. Goen. Director of Indiana Green Thumb, announced that Kosciusko Co. American Red Cross in Warsaw was selected as Project of The Month out of over 400 projects. The selection is to honor the project sponsors and workers for their excellent performance on the job and assisting in the effort to improve the quality of the community and life style for residents in Indiana. Green Thumb, in its 21st year of operation, is a community program funded by the department of labor and sponsored by National Farmers Union. It provides part time work for low income men and women age 55 and over. They may work for tax supported institutions and non-profit organizations doing a wide variety of work. Goen explains that the American Red Cross of Kosciusko. Co., provides the following services for the county: Aid to military personnel, veterans and their families; disaster assistance, blood supplies to the local and area hospitals; and health and safety education. Recent programs in which the Chapter provided assistance exemplify what the Chapter is all about. The chapter was asked to assist with the health fair so they provided two nurses to do hemoglobin testing, one to do blood pressure screening and a nurse aid to do vision screening. Over 350 individuals participated in that fair. Volunteers were provided to Schultz Variety Store to assist in the child identification program. Pictures of the children were taken and a variety of information was typed for each child. Hopefully this will help to prevent children from being lost with no identification, assist law enforcement officers in returning them to parents, and give the parents a sense of security in case of a lost child. The chapter sets up and distributes commodities to needy families in Kosciusko Co. Com-
