Volunteer work at the Red Cross last night was great. Not as many came in, but still more than none. The totals for the "Vein Ambition" drive for Scensty is growing. Yesterday we were at 55 donors, and I spoke with one of our Leads and she said that she helped sign up 5 more people last night during her shift. She was also going to help another approximate 4 employees sign up tonight. Red Cross is granting 180 donation slots for our two dates of July 21st and July 22nd. We are hoping that we fill all the available slots so that we can get more donation dates. If we have 180 people donate, we will save 540 lives. You ask how - because for every blood donation given, up to 3 lives can be saved. Wouldn't you like to say you saved a life. I have and it feels wonderful. Have a great week, enjoy the heat, and stay hydrated. Need to have those veins pumping so we can get some good donations... :)
