RE: KINNEY, Miss Evelyn E.
1103 East Street
Iola, Kansas

My dear Mr. Allen:

Miss Evelyn E. Kinney has applied for a position with the
American Red Cross to serve as First Aid, Water Safety and Accident
Prevention Field Representative. She has given us your name as a
reference, and we would appreciate any statement you wish to make
relative to her character, ability, etc.

 

The position of Representative on our First Aid, Water Safety
and Accident Prevention field staff involves visits to a group of
local Red Cross Chapters to assist them with the organization and
development of the above mentioned services. In addition to the
technical knowledge of these programs, the Field Representative must
be familiar with the techniques of teaching and her personal character-
istics must be such as would enable her to establish and maintain
effective working relationships with not only our paid staff but Red
Cross volunteers as well. From time to time it will be necessary for
the Field Representative to give short informative talks on the subject
of Red Cross to groups in the community such as luncheon clubs, women's
clubs, etc. While it is not required that our Representatives be
accomplished public speakers, they should be able to talk clearly and
Sincerely on an extemporaneous basis.

We will appreciate your assistance in giving us your evaluation
of Miss Kinney's qualifications and your opinion as to her suitability
for an assignment of this nature. Whatever information you make avail-
able to us will, of course, be held in confidence. We would appreciate
an immediate reply.

Sincerely yours,

 

Marvin Teeter
Assistant Director of Personnel
