To all the Hyannis Red Cross volunteers, thank you so much for all that you do. You guys provided food, blankets, housing, and so much care for all the displaced occupants of 290 West Main St. You still found time to take care of all the firefighters as well. Thank you so much, another job well done! - Dean Melanson

I just wanted to say thank you again for coming on such short notice to give us CPR and First Aid training. Also, I wanted to let you know that yesterday at camp we had a child fall and hit their head. He got a pretty good gash above his left ear, but because we had the First Aid training we all knew what to do! We put pressure on the wound to stop the bleeding and called an ambulance because there was a lot of blood, and he ended up going to the hospital to get 14 stitches! So, just wanted to let you know that we are all very thankful for the training that you gave us! Thanks again! Anna
