It saw 89 units collected, which is somewhat less than is usual for the community drive, but this drive had some extenuating circumstances. The Red Cross workers were unexpectedly short-staffed and were, therefore, unable to accept walk-ins that day. Hopefully that will not be the case at future blood drives. Thank-you is given to the...
