Hello Wordcamp Boston!
First and foremost, I want to thank everyone who donated to the American Red Cross through all of the different ways that there were to give at this event: online, through WPCares, the t-shirt sales, ticket sales, or just cash donations.
Your donations will go a long way towards helping provide for the emergency needs of the Haitian people. Financial donations enable the Red Cross to get critically needed items safely to the people who need it most, while remaining flexible to changing situations.
As of Sunday, the donation links on this website will stop working. Donations can still be made at Boston Red Cross or through WPCares at http://www.wpcares.org.
Donations are not the only way that you can help. The Red Cross is always looking for volunteers. Volunteers comprise 96% of the American Red Cross staff, at all levels of the organization. The Red Cross has volunteers through all of its departments, not just in disaster services. Even within disaster services, not all jobs mean that you have to pull yourself out of bed at 3 in the morning to go to a fire. It is my personal belief that everyone can find a position in the American Red Cross that fits what they want to be doing and the time that they have to give. I am proud to be part of that 96%. Go to http://www.redcross.org and enter in your zip code to find your local chapter.
I met many wonderful people at Wordcamp Boston 2010, and I hope that I will see many of you again, volunteering with the American Red Cross – and, perhaps, at the next #bestwordcampever!
