On Monday, January 20th, the SNP Rotary held its annual blood drive. We had a goal of 45 donations. We achieved 42, with two deferrals.
Our thanks to the officials at Christ Church who did their best to overcome the heat issues in the building which resulted in a delay in starting the drive for about a half hour. Rules are that they cannot begin unless the room is over 64 degrees and it was about 56. After having the doors closed for a while the temperature increased enough for them to proceed. (Cold conditions and the doors being open for the equipment loading dropped the temperature).
A special thanks to the church music director who contacted the building chair (Lew), who did his best to help out and to Brenda and Pastor Chuck for allowing us access.
And, thanks also to the following members who assisted with various tasks ….. Susan Watts, Christie Hodde, Jim Fleischmann, Joe Steiner, Mike Katz and his wife Jackie Wechter, and Beth Welsh
