affinity groups

The American Red Cross Alumni Network is dedicated to facilitating connections between alumni and resources we can all share. Our alumni connect through their Red Cross experiences and shared values. But given the full scope of the Red Cross, many alumni also identify with specific functions, like disaster relief, biomedical services, water safety training, IT and many more.  For other alumni it’s geographic proximity or affinity linked to gender, race or ethnic identity.

ARCAN encourages Affinity Groups to make use of Network resources to engage members within their groups and continue doing great things! Groups in turn help support the greater alumni community by hosting live and virtual events, enabling networking, sharing ideas, and promoting alumni-led initiatives.

ARCAN So Cal Group Meeting and Lunch

On April 8 the So Cal ARCAN group met at Acapulco restaurant in Glendale for their bi-annual meeting and luncheon. With 137 members, the group is our largest regional ARCAN group.

So Cal ARCAN President Bill Dutton reported that Patti Hartmann gave the group a great update on what American Red Cross in Los Angeles is doing for fire survivors. Southern Cal has raised more than $41 million and national $162 million.

The Red Cross is working on a three-year recovery program to aid the many victims of the fires. More information will be available when the three-month report is published. 

An additional item of interest included that long-time Red Cross member Al Panico is moving to Panama!

The next meeting of the So Cal group will be October 14, place and time TBD.

ARCAN is independent from the American Red Cross but it is our Red Cross experiences that connect us. Our vision is to unite around the ideals, the humanitarian mission and all the other things we value most about being a part of the Red Cross: the service, the global perspective, the learning and most of all, the people. Membership is open to former American Red Cross employees of all ages.
