Also scheduled to attend the ceremony are William Bustard, Executive Vice President, Dave Dolnick, Vice President, Barbara Barras, Director of Operations, Josh Kovalik, Director of Marketing, along with Chris Greenland, Store Manager, and three Assistant Managers; Holly Beauleu, Trisha Darr and Dave Rollins.

We hope that this summer’s campaign will be the first step in a long relationship. People like Dave Dolnick and his associates are a positive force in our local area.” The American Red Cross Lower Bucks County Chapter is where people mobilize to help their neighbors prepare for, prevent, and respond to life’s emergencies.
