This project was a Blood Drive done in cooperation with the local church which serves as the host location for our Rotary Club. Members Nina Konjar and Anton Hrovat co-chaired the drive. The Red Cross set up shop in the church basement and was happy with the results. Rotary members, employees of invited companies and members of church community, and the general public all participated. Over 150 people showed up to donate and, in the end, 77 pints were collected. The Red Cross told the club that this will help up to 150 people in need of blood or blood products.
The drive was considered a success by the Club and the Red Cross and may very well become an ongoing project. Adding it to a list of projects the Club regularly does including at least 10 scholarships to graduating seniors, and maintenance of the Veterans Monument.
