After the last blood drive of the year, I would like to thank those who make all the blood drives possible. First, thank you Good Shepherd Lutheran Church for opening the doors to your beautiful church and welcoming us in. Next, thank you to the blood donors who make it all possible. Thank you to the canteen workers, Ada Bentley, Susan Harrison, and Arlene Cassedy when we need her. Thank you, Brian Cassedy, who has put our signs out for years, but has turned the job over to Kevin Wicker, who has already gotten more signs for the blood drives. I could not do it without all of you.
The first blood drive in 2024 will be on January 15, 2024. It will be a week later because of having a 56-day gap between drives.
