Granny Allan's Red Cross Pin

Today's word was volunteer. I got some jewelry from my dad's mother and this pin was in it. I'm not sure what tasks she did while volunteering with the Canadian Red Cross. Wish I had thought to ask.

Kathy what a wonderful memento you havd here. How old is this lovely medal?

Great find and shot for the theme. A lovely memory pin.

That's a special treasure. You could probably find out some of the general duties a volunteer would have done by checking out the history of the organization.

[Tunia McClure]

Lots of sentimental value in this.
