Arcadia Chapter, American Red Cross, has received a $20,000 sponsorship check from Herb Jones, chief executive officer of Hinshaw's, to provide a board of directors room in the new facility.
The Arcadia chapter of the American Red Cross is looking for a site for a new building. One possibility is on county property, adjacent to the rose garden at Arcadia County Park.
Groundbreaking for new Arcadia Chapter American Red Cross building is planned for March, 1983, with construction beginning shortly thereafter. Approved building site is on grounds of Methodist Hospital.
Recent groundbreaking ceremonies for the new Arcadia Chapter building of the American Red Cross culminated years of fundraising projects and negotiations between the Red Cross, Methodist Hospital and City of Arcadia. Ceremony held at Methodist Hospital.
The Arcadia chapter of the Red Cross is seeking to become a regional subcenter for blood collection and processing for the Los Angeles and Orange County areas. Authorities say that such a center on the grounds of the Methodist Hospital would be ideal.
