Thank You to Blood Donors, Volunteers
Editor:
Thanks go to everyone who made the Barre Thanksgiving Blood Drive a success. We reached our goal and look forward to the next drive on Monday, January 14th from 11:30-5:30 at The Barre Lodge of Elks. We would like to give special thanks to John Cutler of the Barre Elks and his crew for providing the delicious turkey dinner for the donors and volunteers. Project Independence made delicious carrot cake for dessert.
It is not too early to make an appointment for the drive on January 14th. To make an appointment log onto redcrossblood.org or call 1-800-Red Cross. When you make an appointment, you are given priority when you arrive at the drive. The Red Cross works hard to make your wait time as short as possible, making an appointment can really help.
This drive will be sponsored by the Barre Lions Club. Once again Dunkin Donuts is doing their "Give a Pint, Get a Pound" promotion for the January drive. Each presenting donor receives a coupon for a pound of delicious Dunkin Donuts coffee. This generous donation may be just the incentive you need to give.
As we approach the holidays, let's give thanks for all the blessings in our lives. Giving blood is a way to reach out to others who need us and is a simple way to say thanks. Each pint of blood can save three lives. For more information, contact 1-800 RED CROSS.
