A Canadian expatriate volunteer gets it done in México


Arlene Sieman, a local expatriate, has retired from the Playas de Rosarito Cruz Roja after ten years of service as Secretary to the American Volunteers.

She was presented with a plaque of appreciation from the Cruz Roja Consejo.

Arlene's duties included:

• Taking the Minutes at just about every meeting - the board and general Red Cross Meetings (2 a month) for ten years.

• She made sure all the necessary information got into the books, one book for each year, including all the speakers, guests, etc., plus whatever they brought - pamphlets, business cards.

• She jotted down basically what they spoke about.   All ten Minute Books are at the Office in the Red Cross Hospital.

• Every month she inputted the Red Cross Newsletter into the Minute Books. Each section had the month, i.e, January, February, etc.

• She demanded the Reports from each Board Member - i.e, Treasurer's Report, Thrift Store Report, Membership Report, etc.  They are all in there.

Since she was a legal secretary for thirty years, as a result her work was in mint condition.
