Wilton blood-drive coordinator
The combined blood drive resulted in the collection of 104 units, which translates to the possibility of helping to save 312 lives. This is a record! Thank you to all who donated; however, we also owe many of you an apology. You waited a significant amount of time, beyond your appointment, to donate.
We have had delays here and there in the past, but nothing like we experienced on Saturday. We are sorry this occurred and have begun discussions to make sure delays are held to a minimum, if at all, in the future.
Also, thank you to Brookwood FFA members Claire Slattery and Payne Clark, along with FFA adviser Sarah Witt, for helping throughout the entire drive.
