Did You Hear About Blood Donations?

Archie Brown has been a blood donor for many years. It began when he was nineteen, coaching a teenage league baseball team in his home town. One of the thirteen year old boys contracted leukemia and transfusions. Archie took part in the local drive to collect blood for Jimmy.

He found out then that giving blood is easy and a vital gift to people in anxious moments. He has given at least four times a year for the past forty years. He is going again today, right in the middle of the holiday season. Archie knows that the need for blood is high during this time and the collection is slow because many are sidetracked by the Christmas spirit. Archie feels that it is all the more important for him to give in those times!
