The American Red Cross US Virgin Islands Chapter acknowledged Jacquelyn E. Fredericks for her 30 years of service to the organization at the Charlotte Amalie High School Class of 1974 recognition breakfast event. Fredericks has responded to disasters within the territory such as Hugo, and she has also helped in large scale disasters in the United States. March is Red Cross Month, and the American Red Cross encourages the community to be a hero like Jacquelyn Fredericks and become a volunteer of the USVI Chapter.
