American Red Cross Holds another successful Blood Drive

The American Red Cross held it's community blood drive in Chinook on Tuesday January 4th at Waller Hall. Thanks to all of our donors, we collected 38 units on a goal of 40.

We had two first time donors, Aspyn Colby and Lane Hassler. We hope this was the first of many donations for you.

The canteen was hosted by St Gabriel Catholic Church.

Pastor Jack Mattingly and the United Methodist Church once again so graciously provided the site for the drive at Wallner Hall. Set up for the drive was accomplished by Carla Jenewein, Judy Johnson and Roxanne Townsend.

Door Prizes were donated by the Catholic Church and North Central Montana Cattlewomen as well as Cenex. Taking home door prices were Nancy Snider, Crystal Huckabee, Tanis Ross, Catherine Shackelford, Brooke Pruttis and Lane Hassler.

Others who most certainly need to be recognized for their willingness to contribute to the smooth running of the drive each time are the ladies at the welcome table: Judy Johnson, Linda Thompson and Roxanne Townsend. And last, but certainly not least, Paulette Keller, who always gets those beef gift certificates delivered to me promptly before each drive.

To each and every one of you, thank you for your willingness to donate and to participate in one way or another. It couldn't be done without you.

Sincerely Carla Jenewein, Red Cross Blood Drive Coordinator for Chinook.
