American Red Cross Rota, would like to take the time to honor our local everyday heroes.

Maria Ferreira-Ramos, US Naval Station Hospital Rota: Records Assistant.

Maria holds a special place in everyone’s heart. It doesn't matter what kind of assistance people need,

if she can help you she will. This year Maria will be celebrating her 10th year with the American Red Cross. She has donated countless hours through-out her tenure . Maria donates time not only to the Red Cross but also in her local community where she works with the homeless. She is always available to help those who are in need and we are grateful for her gift of time and skills. Thank you Maria for just being you!

Deanna Forney, DGF Elementary School: After School Scholars Program Leader.

Deanna Forney is a teacher at DFG Elementary School. Last year she volunteered as a mentor in the After School Scholars Program and this

“Thank you to our

local heroes for

all that you do to

help our Naval

Station Rota

Community stay

strong. ”

–Debbie Dustman

Station Manager, American

Red Cross Rota Spain.

LT Robert Stoner, Naval Station Rota Dental Clinic: Dental Assistant Program Trainer.

The Dental Assistant Training Program is an amazing

program the Red Cross Rota offers to community mem-

bers free of charge. Dr. Stoner is instrumental in the plan-

ning and execution of this remarkable program that helps

community members develop new skills and acquire

hands on job experience in a new field. The students are lucky to learn

from Dr. Stoner who shares his experience with the students with bound-

less positive energy. Thank you, Dr. Stoner, for supporting the Dental As-

sistant Training program the last two years!

Sandy Riley, American Red Cross Rota Office: Office Assistant.

Sandy, a volunteer since November 2012, donates her

time to help us in the Red Cross Rota office. She has

been tremendously helpful and we look forward to her

bi-weekly visits. Sandy not only helps us with work, but

brightens our world with her good nature. Thank you

Sandy for all your help!

Not all heroes wear capes but maybe these should!

Mr. Hampton has been a Red Cross volunteer for

over 20 years. During this time, he has donated

more than 10,000 hours as an American Red

Cross Volunteer at US Naval Hospital Rota. To

achieve this level of volunteerism is remarkable

and incredibly meaningful to the Red Cross. In

honor of his amazing accomplishments, the Red

Cross Rota Volunteer Advisory Council selected

Mr. Hampton as the first volunteer to be featured in the “Volunteer

Spotlight”.

Mr. Hampton’s time with the Red Cross only represents a portion of

his volunteerism. He also donates his time and skills to the Spanish

Red Cross Society and the Annual Christmas Tree Program. We

thank Mr. Hampton for his dedication to the Red Cross throughout

the last 21 years. He is a generous person and we are fortunate to

have him on our team. We congratulate Mr. Hampton on his accom-

plishments and we thank him for his hard work and dedication.
