The Chinook community hosted a successful Red Cross blood drive on Tuesday, March 4th. We had 48 donors, with 43 viable blood products collected. A huge thank you to all who participated-your contributions make a difference!
We'd like to express our heartfelt appreciation to the American Lutheran Church Women-Mildred Dawson, Susan Sargent, and Sharon LaPlant-for organizing the canteen. The time and effort that goes into preparing the delicious homemade sandwiches, snacks, and sweet treats are truly appreciated by everyone.
A big thank you goes to all of the volunteers who helped ensure the drive ran smoothly. We are especially grateful to the Commercial Building for providing the venue, and to Sharon Thackery and Linda Thompson for their warm welcome and registration of donors. Your hard work does not go unnoticed!
We also want to recognize Kolten DePriest, Lane Ward, Ryder Hofeldt, and Rhett Hofeldt for their help with setting up and taking down the event. Your support is deeply appreciated.
Congratulations to our door prize winners: Mara Edwards, Madison Dunken, Joe Kennedy-Zarn, John Colby, Debbie Munari, Wilma Melville, and Tande Molyneaux!
A special shout-out to Madison Dunkin, a first-time donor! Thank you, Madison, for your generosity and commitment to helping others.
To all those who donated, volunteered, and supported the event in any way, we can't thank you enough. Your participation makes all the difference, and this drive wouldn't be possible without you.
