Tuesday’s blood drive brings in 30 donors
Volunteers are the heart of the The Blood Center of Iowa. Without those who help to recruit volunteers, organize blood drives and donate their blood to patients in need, The Blood Center could not fulfill its mission of supplying blood and blood product to 49 hospitals in 44 Iowa counties.
The volunteer spirit was truly evident at the Centerville Community Blood Drive held on Tuesday, Dec. 1. Thirty people responded to the call to donate blood, collecting 26 units. There was one first time donor. Chairperson Rose Cunningham, TTT Ch. ER, played an important role in motivating volunteers and organizing the event. The Blood Center of Iowa would like to commend the sponsor groups, Chapter TTT ER, TTT AS, and the Hospital Auxiliary, for their significant contribution to the blood drive, as well as the Grace Tabernacle Baptist Church for allowing us to hold the blood drive in their facility. We would also like to express appreciation to all the volunteers and donors who made a valuable contribution to the volunteer blood donor program.
Registering donors were Betty Owca, TTT, Ch. AS, and Pat Albright. Servicing the canteen were RoseMary Porter, Cindy Keene, Patti Timmons, Ruth Ann Dickerson and Julie Jay. Diane Zaputil provided sandwiches.
The Daily Iowegian and KCOG/KMGO advertised the drive. The publicity committee was Jeanie Pontius, Dianne Zapitul, Marilyn Gorden, Rose Knight and Larry Bettis. Calling donors were Rose Cunningham and Caroll VanDyne.
The volunteer donors were: Skylan Smith, Carrie Simmons, Monica Risher, Darrel Morrow, Ray Robinson, Becky Morrow, Burneta Sales, Bill Cunningham, Michelle Fisk, Donna Ursta, William Schacher, Jim Senior, Marilyn Gordon, Larry Clark, Tisha Shepard, Jill Zintz, Sue Golic, Christine Shipman, Mark McGill, Cynthia Babbitt, Rebecca Clark, Martha Furlin, Rodale Cossolotto, Carole Brown, Mona Berry, Andrew Pratt, William Lister, Ronda Peek, Larry Peek and Trent Mobley.
