Rotary Blood Drive Report
Thank you all Rotarians and friends for donations.  Donating from our group since the end of May brought in 15 donations! Our in-center drive will help up to 60 patients.
 
Inventories are VERY low this month.  There is a critical need for O-, O+, A-, A+, and B+!   Thank you for donating this summer.  Donors will really make a HUGE impact. The week before our drive actually had the lowest turnout of donors since the beginning of the pandemic.  So our week could not have come at a better time.
