Port
Huron Elks Lodge 343 held our 39th consecutive Blood drive on June
20th. We had (3) first time donors, (34) donors registered
with (6) donors deferred and (25) whole blood pints collected (2 Power reds = 4
pints) for 29 total units which were collected which is 87% of our goal.
We also had 11 Type “O” donors of the 34 who arrived to provide the ”Gift of Life”. With Lodge 343
supporting the American Red Cross, we have collected over 1,304
units (pints) = 163 plus gallons of blood since our 1st blood
drive on January 7, 2013. We are now on our way to reaching our next goal
of 2,000 pints (250 gallons). Thank you to Mary from the Burchville Lions
Club who donated her time at the sign in table and step-down area. Our 40th
Blood Drive has been scheduled for Monday, July 18th.
