CHERI KINLEY RECEIVES HONORS FROM THE RED CROSS

The Greater Long Beach Chapter of the American Red Cross announces the March Volunteer of the Month is professional photographer Cheri Kinley.

For the fourth consecutive year, Cheri donated her time to take professional portraits of each of the chapter’s Hometown Heroes and to photograph the ceremony at the breakfast awards event. Setting up a make shift studio in the chapters call center, Cheri set up appointments in advance to take the portraits of each hero. She took spectacular photos for the ceremony’s program and audio visual presentation.

On the day of the Heroes event, Cheri was there, camera in hand, to photograph the entire event. "Her cheerful demeanor and professional expertise were very welcome and appreciated," said Chairwoman of the Board of Directors Candice Stacy. "Her photos made us look our best and she had them produced so quickly that the Press Telegram printed them on the front page on the next day."
