Herb Glissendorf receives his "Three Gallon Club" plaque from Blood Drive chairman. May Chesak.
Thirty-six units of blood and three deferrals were the results of the Blood Bank Drive on August 15 for the Heartland Blood Centers at Aurora. This amount will help 108 people as each unit of blood can help 3 people. For example, plasma to a burn patient victim, red blood cells to a heart surgery or cancer patient and platelets to a leukemia patient. So to those 36 donors and 3 would- be donors, many, many thanks.
Special notice to Don Hardy, who belongs to the 8-gallon club. A plaque was given to Herbert Glissendorf, who belongs to the 3-gallon club. Those to receive plaques are 4-gallon members Lonnie Mallegni, Richard Polnow and Mary Lou Hardy and 3-gallon members Connie Westphal, Michael Schiesher, Jim Bond and Rich Diedrick.
Your chairman, May Chesak, wishes to thank the First
Congregational Church for the use of the Social Hall and facilities; to Jann Crabill for all her valuable help; to Fern Enstrom and Arlene Mattingly for help in many various ways; to the print-out callers Shirley Hartrick, Francis Fox, Arlene Mattingly, Carol Donahue and Doris Ball; to the 3 churches for helping to publicize it; to the Huntley Farmside for all its helpful publicity; to the many business places allowing posters to be displayed; and to any others who helped in some way. Most of all, grateful appreciation is expressed to the Blood Donors who made our day!
The next Blood Drive will be held on Wednesday, March 21, 1990, when we will hope for an even larger number of blood donors.
May Chesak
Blood Drive Chairman
