Brethren,
We are coming up on our last blood drive of 2011. We started the year with a strong showing, but our previous blood drive, held in July was less than what we had hoped it would be. Summer is tough on blood drives, and it was on ours, too!
Our next Blood Drive will be held on October 15th, and again we will pitching-in with our Brothers from Ashburn-Sterling Lodge 288. We are hoping for a good strong showing this time. Please put this event on your calendar and plan to come and donate a pint of blood. We welcome brethren, family, friends and walk-ins, and hope this drive will be success that we all hope for.
Remember, this is the most generous kind of donation you can give, the gift of life and hope. Blood cannot be manufactured; it must come from generous donors like us.
You can make your life-saving appointment by visiting http://inova.org/donateblood, click Donate Blood and use Sponsor Code 7438.
Help your lodge, your family, your community and yourself by helping to maintain the blood supply. Please plan to come and participate in our Blood Drive on October 15!
