    For the first time, ARCOA, ARCAN and new ARCAN Affinity Group, the Disaster Reunion Group, will be meeting at the same time and place for an in-person gathering. Each group has its own agenda and meeting times. We will collaborate on events that bring Red Crossers together across lines of service: sharing stories, reuniting with colleagues and friends, making new connections, honoring those who served with the SAF Legacy recognition, remembering those who have passed away, and preserving our history.

    A working agenda and full details are available on the 3UNION webpage.
