Volunteers helped blood drive succeed
Bette Pachel, blood drive coordinator, reports the turnout for the recent blood drive held at Ponsford/Osage. Forty-one people volunteered to donate their blood to help patients in this area and 42 units of blood were actually drawn during the drive. There were six first-time donors.
This is a clear example of concerned citizens in this area responding unselfishly to a great need - the need for blood. You can all feel pride that these volunteer donors are your friends and neighbors.
Other people who participated in the drive were Hazel Eskola, Lucille and Pat Stearns, Hilma Tretbar, Vi Mack, Carin Shepersky, June Crandall, Cheryl Brietbach and Bill Ullom.
Space to hold the blood drive was provided by Grace Community Church of Osage.

Blood drives just don't happen. Hours of work are necessary to organize a successful blood drive and many people have helped to make the Ponsford/Osage community blood drive work well.
Blood is for sharing. You have truly given the "gift of life."
