Fundraising – Mike Jen maj214 Platelet Recruitment: I would like to remind everyone to recruit platelets at the blood drives! Remember that for every successful first time platelet donor that you recruit, you will get $10. We have information sheets and pieces of paper for donors to fill out if they're interested in donating platelets. Remember that female donors will need to request a platelet count by calling a number right after they successfully donate whole blood. If you plan on recruiting platelets, make sure you read over the platelet information sheet and understand the process/requirements before you recruit.

Health & Safety – Christine Theberge mwt5073 Baby Comfort Kits We're collecting items to put together baby comfort kits for disaster victims, which are persons who have lost everything due to fire, flood or other natural disaster After a disaster, a member of a ARC Disaster Action Team gives each family member an age-appropriate comfort kit. These simple items help a family get on the road to recovery after a disaster. Items should be handed in by Friday, April 15, but you can drop them off anytime in the office during office hours. You will be getting 1 hour for every 5 items that you bring in, and we'll be having a social to put them all together before the end of the year.
