A Successful Blood Drive

Submitted by Esteemed Leading Knight Kathleen Olesen

Our afternoon and evening folks came in with enthusiasm to support the Watchung Hills Elks Lodge 885 blood drive. We surpassed our goal and collected 36 units which will go to help over 100 lives.

We wanted to recognize the efforts of these volunteers: Linda Helmsetter for organizing the drive and baking; Kim DeVizio for baking; and Mel Doremus for providing the beautiful heart-shaped cookies which we gave out to all of the donors.

Beyond our volunteers, we send a special “Thank You” to all who came in to participate in our blood drive! Each one of you made it a successful and fun day!
