New Red Cross Volunteer System!

Hey guys,

Although last year I had a good time updating this Blogger site for TPHS ARC (sarcasm, friends), I'm happy to announce that Torrey Pines' American Red Cross Club has been chosen, along with the rest of the clubs in our chapter, to beta a new volunteer system that makes everything easier!

It's pretty much a Facebook-esque system just for Red Cross, where you can find our clubs events (and the other Red Cross clubs', if you're interested in branching out), etc. You'll be able to submit your hours online (eliminating human error and frustration if your hours don't get logged by a board member manually), sign up for events, and more. Obviously because it is in beta, the site is still in its rudimentary form. However, this is still a fun and convenient opportunity for our club and chapter.

You don't need to sign up for an account separately or anything -- you're given a log-in as soon as your membership application gets put in. If you have any questions about how the system works, feel free to email us at tpredcross@gmail.com!

This site and the extended site will become less active mid-October, once all new members have been entered into the new system.

Thanks for being such wonderful members, and talk to you later!
