Just wondering if anyone has more pictures of dove release, as we donated the doves “Symbols of Love”

Since they were corporate donations I don’t mind that I drank 4 of those Special K waters…I’m too cheap to buy flavored water…or bottled water at all for that matter.

I’m glad you asked and I’m glad Diane answered, you raised a very good question. The best questions are the ones that end up with an answer…

Thanks very much for your clarification Diane. I appreciate you taking the time to comment on my post.

I didn’t really think that disaster relief funds were used for the water, but I did wonder who had supplied it.

While I’m sure the Red Cross is helped greatly by corporate donations throughout the year and during times of crisis I am a bit surprised that Giant Eagle and Kellogg’s didn’t want some type of sign on the premises stating that they had donated the water.

Bloggers provide one more way for Americans to get answers!

Thanks again!

Hi Craig,

Can I please clarify something that appears in your blog?

American Red Cross volunteers gave their time to pass out plain and Special K water to participants in the much awaited bridge opening. The water was donated to the ODOT and the bridge committee from Giant Eagle and the Kellogg Corporation and not purchased with donated dollars. Our volunteers were just the conduit to pass it out to walkers and other spectators to keep them hydrated in the heat of the day.

If you have any additional questions or concerns, please give me a call at 419-329-2741 or e-mail, dixond@usa.redcross.org.

Have a good day,

Thanks! There are some great bonus pictures I took on the bridge that will appear in “The Week in Pictures #2″ when I publish it on Friday evening.
