Good Shepherd Lutheran Church sponsored the Red Cross’ March blood drive that brought in 50 pints of much needed blood. According to Red Cross volunteers, at this time there is only a half day supply of blood on hand.
“This blood is desperately needed and will be used right away,” said Coordinator Norma Weeks. “Thank you to all my wonderful donors. We had 54 people to come in and 50 pints were collected.”
Summer White completed her five gallons of blood donation, P.A. and Terry Poumelle each completed five gallons, and Nick Olena completed two gallons of blood.
They all received their pins from Colleton County Blood Drive Coordinator Norma Weeks.
Other blood donors were: Kevin Wicker, Linda Clark, Mike Kuszmaul, Bernita Green, William Snead, Mary Howe, Fran Mack, Gene Wynn, Arlene Cassedy, Scotty Kinard, Margaret Brown, Celeste Stone, Mary Jo Fox, Richard Berry, Susan Harrison, Rebecca Foster, Vicki Syfrett, Sherry Hann Weber, Steve Blake, Morrison Payne, Sharon Paris, Doris Nettles, Gary Hermann, Willie Dobson, Ian Saunders, Steve Childers, Stacy Thomas, Leon Brown, Latarsha Bright, Diane Wicker, Summer White, Jeanette Smith, Crystal DeLonge, Michael DeLonge, Donald Davis, Debra Galik, Michael Reock, Vernon Edwards, Barbara Benton, Terry Pournelle, P.A.
