| Bobble Barton outside her new home, the American Red Cross Louisville Area Chapter. |
Back in June, we came across a story about collectible bobble
heads handed out by the Hagerstown Suns, a minor league baseball team in
Hagerstown, Maryland. We all love a good bobble head, but this one is particularly
special—it is modeled in the likeness of our very own American Red Cross
founder, Clara Barton.
It just so happens that our Manager of Volunteer Services,
Paul Beede, has family in the D.C. area. Upon hearing about the existence of “Bobble
Barton,” Paul’s grandmother Phyllis went on a quest to find one. Her search led
her to the Washington County Maryland Red Cross where executive director, Julie
Barr-Strasburg, graciously presented Phyllis with her very own Clara Barton bobble
head.
Thanks to both Phyllis and Julie, Bobble Barton has a new
home here in Louisville. It’s not in Clara’s nature to sit around on a shelf
all day, so she will be pitching in at various chapter activities. Clara has a
love for historical trivia and charitable actions, so we’ve given her a few
goodies to give away as she makes new friends. Follow her excursions on our
Facebook and Twitter pages (#bobblebarton) and keep an eye out for opportunities
to win.
