HUMMER Club Volunteers To Assist American Red Cross
American Red Cross ^ | November 10, 2004 | American Red Cross

WASHINGTON, Wednesday, November 10, 2004 — HUMMER owners are forming a group of volunteers that will be available to assist the American Red Cross in its disaster relief efforts. Under a collaboration announced during the American Red Cross Disaster Response Symposium in South Bend, Indiana, members of The HUMMER Club Inc. can choose to become certified as Red Cross volunteers who can be deployed in local chapter and national relief operations to drive supplies and people into disaster areas that other vehicles might not be able to reach. The volunteer program will go by the name of HOPE – HUMMER Owners Prepared for Emergencies.

In support of the HOPE program, the GM Foundation will contribute $4 million to the American Red Cross over a six-year period to assist the Red Cross in disaster relief efforts and to assist chapters in delivering local programs and services.

“When disasters strike, it’s imperative that Red Cross personnel can access affected areas as quickly as possible,” said Marsha J. Evans, president and CEO of the American Red Cross. “The off-road capabilities of HUMMER vehicles and the volunteer operational support by The HUMMER Club will certainly help our relief workers assess the damage and get lifesaving aid and supplies to those who need it most.”

In mid-summer I have a dozen hummers buzzing my feeders. Cute little beggars.

Would probably be the only rough duty driving any of these Hummers would ever see!

Man. What I could do with an H1, though. Havoc and mayhem.

Or was it the Whippenpoofs? No, you're right.

I am sorry but as a leftist RamaHanuKwanzMas proponent and commissar of the Red Cross, we cannot allow the gas guzzling
CO2 emitting right-wing transports to be used to save lives.

Sorry.

During one of my weekend trips up to Lime Rock, I witnessed a convoy of about 20 H1's coming down Route 7, all doing about 70. I didn't fully realize how wide the suckers were.

Lane discipline was being exercised, but it got my full attention just the same.

Clinton is the one who enjoys the hummers. I think he's the member, and Monica was making the contribution, don't you think?

HUMMER Club Volunteers To Assist American Red Cross

Not having read the article, which just tends to confuse me and slow down my Freeping, it appears as though the Red Cross has had trouble with its blood drives, so in an effort to lure potential donors they have brought in Monica Lewinsky and some of her pals to give a little quid pro quo.
