Thanks to everyone who participated in our fun at MarsCon this year! We had numerous members around the con during the festivities.
Our American Red Cross blood drive was a success! We had some rough moments, due to illness of regular donors, travel deferrals and other reasons that made it hard to fill our schedule. In the end, generosity was evident as we collected 24 units of blood - enough to save up to 72 lives! Great job again, and special thanks to Jane for her many hours of calling donors before the convention. Thanks to Jane, Roxanne and Lori for the long day spent in the lobby greeting donors, recruiting and doing the necessary paperwork for the drive. Great job saving lives, everybody!!
We also had a bunch of members in the WDF M*U*S*H tent. It was fun and popular, and we earned a prize from the room judges. It was great to have so many people to help make it a fun time.
And last but obviously not least, thanks to our members who serve in various official capacities at the convention. From running the show to running the camera, we are proud of your efforts and we thank you for providing us an opportunity to have fun. I saw 27 USS Nokomis members at the convention, and I'm sure that there were more there, so that's a testament to the great work you all do!
