SYRACUSE - With no substitute for blood and no way to manufacture it, volunteer donors are essential for hospital patients in need of transfusions. During National Volunteer Month this April, the American Red Cross is celebrating the blood, platelet and plasma donors who help fulfill its lifesaving mission and urging healthy individuals to join them in giving.
Nearly 2.6 million Red Cross volunteer donors step up every year to ensure blood is on the shelves when patients need it. The generosity of these heroes has been especially impactful over the past year as they helped the Red Cross continue to meet patient needs amid the COVID-19 pandemic.

FLTON – Director of Fulton City Parks and Recreation, Chris Waldron, recently joined a Fulton Sunrise Rotary meeting recently to talk about the path that brought the city native back to Fulton and into the directorship position.
In the meeting, Waldron said he has always loved activities that bring people together. So he set his sights on pursuing a degree in Recreation and Leisure Studies. After graduation he worked in other cities, but when the opportunity arose last October, he moved back and joined the Fulton Parks Department.
After assessing the positive opportunities available in the Fulton community, Waldron began to explore new areas that might excite and engage Fulton residents. A community committee including representatives from the city, Fulton Public Library, CYO, YMCA and the Fulton Alliance Church have been bringing ideas to the table and several new activities are now in the planning.
