Congratulations to all for the great blood drive on July 2nd. Thanks to Jane's many hours of recruiting, we went in to the convention with a virtually full schedule. Con-goers stopped in to the rooms all weekend asking for appointments, which gave us a big backup list.
The result? Thanks to Roxanne and Jane and their wrangling of donors and appointments, and thanks to the fabulous crew on the bloodmobile, we collected 45 units of live-saving blood! Our goal was 30 units - can you believe it!!? All donors received the coolest ribbon at the con - Blood Donor - and they also got a holiday-weekend gift of a lunch cooler from the American Red Cross. Since each unit can touch up to 3 lives, that's up to 135 hospital patients touched by us - the USS Nokomis!
Thanks to Jane, Roxanne and all who donated blood at our 28th blood drive. Way to go!
Mary
