Our annual fall blood drive will take place on Saturday, November 22 from 7a.m. to 1:00pm at St. John Church Hall. 

Please plan to support this very valuable mmunity project.  While it is planned for the weekend prior to Thanksgiving, the units will still help to cover the 4-day down time for the Red Cross over the long Thanksgiving holiday that follows.  As has been done over the last few drives, we will be making telephone calls to solicit donors.  We will also be taking reservations after masses on Nov. 15 & 16. 

If you can donate, help with calls and/or sign ups at church, or help on the day of the drive, please let me know.  This will be a very busy day for many of us, as we will also have the Bull & Oyster Roast that evening.  So we need a lot of brothers to volunteer their their time to help spread the load as much as possible. 

We need to collect at least 65 units to meet the Red Cross goal.  Thus we need to sign up about 80 donors.  However, our goal is to sign up 100 and get 75 units. 

Yes this will take a lot of effort, but we have picked up momentum again over the last 3 drives, especially with the great performance of the Red Cross teams. 

Please pray for our success as well as a good turn out. 
Contact your friends, neighbors and relatives to donate also.
