During
our most recent blood drive, (43) donors registered with (8) donors being
deferred and (33) whole blood pints collected, this included (1 Power
reds = 2 pints) for 35 total units collected, which is 120% of our goal.
We also had one first time donor and (16) type O donors who arrived to provide
the ”Gift of Life”. With
Lodge 343 supporting the American Red Cross, we have collected over 1,509
units (pints) = 188 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). Our 45th Blood Drive has been
scheduled for Monday, December 19th and to date, we currently have
30 appointments booked!
