We had a Succesful Blood Drive!

     Thanks to the brethren who helped with our ‘Gift of Life’ Blood Drive for the Scottish Rite Children’s Hospital on Saturday, September 22nd. Several of our Brethren helped as well as some unexpected help from some of the surrounding businesses in the shoppoing center where we were located. Even people that were just driving down the highway, saw our signs and the  Carter BloodCare bus, decided to stop and donate blood. We had 25 registered donors and 18 pints collected.  “IT WAS A SUCCESS”. You never know when you or someone you love might need blood.  We are planning our next blood drive and are looking at potential dates this coming spring; hopefully at the same location as this year.  Hope you can join us and donate blood or help out with this very worthy project. Of course we have several Brethren who either live out of state or live too far to drive in, we encourage you to participate at a local blood drive for a Lodge near you or see if they would consider starting one if they have none. If they need assistance in starting a blood drive, have them contact our Senior Warden, Brother Shannon Crowson, who will see that they get what they need to start.
