Just for Fun
Join us Friday, Oct. 2, 2009, for "Party Like It's 1989 -- A Thiller Prom Night" to benefit the Red Cross Central Illinois Chapter!
Staffers are practicing their moves. Watch them get ZOMBIE-fied to MJ in this video.
Meet Mista Twista! Who is this whirling, rhyming ball of twine? He's the Red Cross Central Illinois Chapter's tornado preparedness puppet. Every year, he visits local schools and teaches kids how to stay safe during severe spring weather. (He's not so intimidating in person!)
Special Features
Originally shown to supporters at a Sept. 14, 2009, celebration to pay off the Red Cross office building, this multimedia show (music! interviews! photos!) gives a great overview of what your local Red Cross does -- and how we love our home that the community helped build.
