Thank you!
On Sunday, September 15, our American Red Cross Blood Drive was a great success. We collected 46 Pints! Thank you to PGKs Pat Noonan and Joe Beotsch, and Brs. John Fus and Harley Juth for your help.
|
Below is the message form Debra of the Red Cross.

Congratulations K.O.C. 5959 on a very successful drive yesterday! The official results are:
32 goal
46 registered
7 deferred
1 incomplete
8 power reds!
46 precious pints collected=about 138 lives saved!
Amazing results! These are the most pints we have collected to date 😊 Great job everyone. Did the volunteer drop off the street signs? If so, I believe you can keep them for future drives. I assume all went well as I did not get any reports of any issues. Also, it looks like changing the hours may have helped with overall donor turnout. Please share any feedback that you may have.
Once again it was really a pleasure to work with you. Thank you for everything that you all did to make the blood drive program so successful at Blessed Sacrament Church.
I will reach out to set up a drive planning meeting when we get closer to the March 8th drive.
Have a great week everyone!
Debra
