One of the Greatest Gifts You Can Give Your Family Is the Knowledge of How to Handle a Crisis
Cathy Lange is president of Business Works, Inc. in the Metro-D.C. area. The September 11, 2001 terrorist attacks on Washington, D.C.
and on New York City made her aware of how unprepared she and her family
were for a disaster. As a result, Cathy researched through the Red Cross and other resources and made sure that the next time something
happens, she and her family would be as prepared as they can be.

What If Your Child Needed Blood and There Wasn't Any?
The Red Cross is Critically Low on Blood. Please Help Now! Our goal is to have at least a five-
to seven-day supply of blood available at all times, and yet we have less than one day's supply
of almost any blood type. Please help make sure it's there when it's
needed. Call 1-800-Give-Life to make an appointment today.
