| Description |
The Weber County Chapter of the Red Cross began in December 1915 when a small group of individuals gathered to begin organizing a chapter of the Red Cross. In 1962, the name was changed to the Bonneville chapter, and in 1969, the chapter merged with other chapters in Northern Utah to become the Northern Utah Chapter, with its headquarters located in Ogden, Utah. The scrapbooks range from 1940 to 2003 and highlight some of the important work of the Red Cross. The books include photographs, newspaper clippings, and other materials. |

Harpejy Pearl Nelson and Jane Poe look on. 3/4/51 An Open Letter to Members of Organized Labor We are called upon again at this time to give our support to the American Red Cross. Volunteer workers have been called upon to assist in raising funds which will enable the Ameri-can Red Cross to carry on its work, already outlined in part, by our departments of government, and to meet any disaster of which we may be faced. I was very happy to consent to serve as a vice chairman of the 1951 Weber County Fund Raising Campaign of the American Red Cross. I hope Labor will give me its whole-hearted support as they have in the past. Because of the Korean situation and the Military demands for the services of the American Red Cross, our quota for 1951 is greater than 1950. Therefore we are called upon to contribute more this year. I am sure that the people of Weber coun¬ty will support the Red Cross this year as they have in the past. That they will accept their quota and assist the many workers who have volunteered their time, to this very worthy cause. Fraternally yours, F. W. Hart, Secretary, Ogden Trades & Labor Assembly Red Cross, Officials of the 1951 Weber ty American Red Cross drive terday expressed confidence the goal of $53,934 would be reached at the final report lunch¬eon Wednesday, March 21.
