Red Cross volunteers have been asked to engage in a community pledges campaign, in which volun teers will ask their friends and fami ly members to make pledges and donations. For the first time, Red Cross or ganizations from across the nation will be hosting a virtual auction. O’Connell said donations of every thing from a fishing trip to a week end for two have been made by businesses and individuals. Runyan donated an Olympic run ning jersey, which she signed, to the auction. Red Cross Community Campaign Manager Don Jackson said the or ganization didn’t have as much suc cess fundraising last year as it had hoped, raising only $106,000. Jackson said many people don’t realize what Red Cross does. “We serve one in six people in Lane County every year, and 256 people are served by our Meals on Wheels program,” said Jackson. ( { People don’t realize what we do for them, and how desperate situations can be until they’re in it It’s your neighbors and your community that has made what we do possible: Ben Masengil volunteer, Red Cross n Each year, Red Cross chapters across the country begin fundrais ing in March, which is “Red Cross Month.” “In 1905, the Red Cross received a charter from the U.S. Congress that lets us do what we do for the com munity,” said Daniel Jud, the Red Cross emergency services supervi sor. “We have to exist to provide dis aster services, but we have to come up with our own money to do it. ” The Red Cross receives no federal funds and depends on the commu nity to fund the organization so it can continue its service during dis asters, Beban said. “We don’t just do blood,” said Phillips. “We have programs for every stage of life for free, we respond to every single fire, we serve 67,000 meals to homebound people and train 22,000 people in CPR and first aid.” Ben Masengil, who has been a Red Cross volunteer for more than 40 years, said disaster can happen to anyone. “People don’t realize what we do for them, and how desperate a situa tion can be until they’re in it,” Masengil said. “It’s your neighbors and your community that has made what we do possible. ” Beban said it’s the fundraising that keeps people alive, even if they don’t realize it. “It’s easy for people to take a non profit organization like the Red Cross for granted,” Beban said. “But as soon as we’re gone, they would know it in a heartbeat. ” Taxes continued from page 1 them about lesser-known deduc tions such as tuition fees and book expenses. “There are many ways people can save money, and a lot of peo ple still don’t know about them,” she said. Heidenreich added that last year she received a lot of positive feed back from students who were re lieved that they didn’t have to tackle their tax forms alone. “Most people hate doing taxes,” she said. “It was fun to help people because they were so thankful.” Vaccination continued from page 1 through close oral contact, includ ing kissing, sharing utensils, or be ing close to people when they are coughing or sneezing. Although no new cases have - been confirmetLsince Dieringer’s death, the Lanetounty Bloodbank is taking preventive measures dur ing its blood drive today in the EMU. The bloodbank is asking stu dents who had close contact with Dieringer, lived with her in Cloran Hall or the Kappa Delta sorority, or spent more than four hours with her in a confined space be tween Feb. 1 and Feb. 8 to not give blood. Students in close living situa tions such as residence halls or greek houses are most susceptible to catching the bacteria. But Eyster said the antibiotic is enough of a preventive measure for fellow stu dents in the Hamilton Complex and other residence halls. But he added all students should receive a vaccination when they come onto campus fall term. Students and members of the greek system continue to wear pink ribbons in memory of the 19-year old. Pink was her favorite color. Many chapters have hung pink banners outside their houses as well. Eyster said he discussed plans for Dieringer’s memorial with her family and friends, but no deci sion has been firidlized. He said there will probably be one memo rial in her hometown of Portland, where students will be invited, and possibly a second service in Eugene. “We want to get a feel from stu dents for what they want,” he said.
