Cassie Slagle is a go-getter. (That's her in the camo at our BIG BASH event.) We knew it from the time she spent as an Americorps VISTA at the Grant Wood Area Chapter. We were thrilled when after her time with us she was accepted to the nursing program at the University of Iowa. We are lucky enough to have kept her as a volunteer. And last week she was able to put her skills to use to help a group her fellow U of I students affected by an apartment fire.
Cassie was called to the scene and was able to begin the process of making sure displaced apartment residents had lodging, along with money to replace lost food and clothing. To make things even better she agreed to tell her story to the Daily Iowan and encourage others to become Red Cross volunteers.
Thank you Cassie and all of our wonderful volunteers!!
