Being able to help people “on their worst day” is why Misti McClellan said it means so much to her to be part of the American Red Cross.

A 1989 graduate of El Reno High School, McClellan serves as the Red Cross executive director for Central and Southwest Oklahoma. Her territory covers 17 counties. And in Oklahoma, that’s a lot of area where a lot of things can go wrong.

In a hurry.

McClellan was in El Reno recently speaking at the El Reno Now gathering hosted by Mayor Matt White and School Superintendent Craig McVay.

El Reno High School held its 2022 Junior-Senior Prom last week at The Festivities in downtown El Reno. Students and their dates were treated to a red carpet experience during the Grand March.

Some might say that volunteering takes time, costs money and creates work. We believe otherwise. Our volunteers invest their time, share their treasures and teach their talents to provide for a better life in the young minds they influence.

Their investment to Canadian County 4-H pays dividends in the development of young minds, builds future leaders and shapes our youth into positive role models for our communities.

“It’s amazing to witness the power of a volunteer 4-H leader. We could not be more pleased with our team of certified volunteers.

Kathleen Douglass began helping with the making of the “Big Bun” back in 2001.

She learned the secrets as well as the recipe from Henry Jo and Donna VonTungeln while helping to prepare the dough at their home. In 2008, Douglass recruited her good friend, Kim Eden, to help with the process.

Douglass was serving as an administrator with the El Reno Fire Department, while Eden was in a similar position at the police department.
