2010 Crestline Blood Drive
Having a Relief Society President as a wife has a lot of positives. You know as long as she is in that calling you are safe from any calling of serious responsibility yourself. You know that you will be invited to some really nice dinners. Unfortunately, you also know that if there is a blood drive in town your going to be donating. That is exactly what Denise did today. Actually she had both a blood drive and a clothes give away at the church today. Attendance was good, in all she got 27 pints of blood today.
If your interested in donating blood yourself it is a fairly simple procedure. All you have to do is find a local blood donation center, register, answer a few questions, and then you can donate. It does hurt a little bit when the needle enters, but it goes by fairly fast. If you have rare blood or A+ blood they might even pay you for it. Usually it is just by donation though. In today’s case I did get a coupon for a free pint of Baskin Robbins ice cream.
Why do they pay for A+ blood? That is the second most common type. I bet they pay for O-, the universal donor. Ah well, 27 donors is pretty good!
If you have A+ blood you can donate platelettes. Valuable I guess for medicine.
Good job, Denise! How did the clothes giveaway go?
