So far everything for our blood drive has gone very smoothly. This week we worked out signing more people up and looking over some of the paperwork we have to fill out the day of the blood drive. We also met with the blood drive coordinator briefly and she gave us more posters to give out and hang up.
Looking through some of the paperwork she gave us it talked about POWER RED. We learned that this is when you give blood and it separates red blood cells from blood components. This is recommended for some blood types. When you're giving blood this process also takes longer than the usual process. Another part of the paperwork is a consent form for 16 year olds from their parents. We didn’t know about this so now we will have to make sure all of our friends get this form filled out. The rest of the paper work consisted of guidelines and regulations for giving blood. Such as height, weight and if you're on certain medications. We received an email back from Davie Enterprise and were featured in Friday’s run of the paper, for knowing the importance of veterans and wanting to honor them for holding our blood drive on veterans day.

Glad y'all are putting so much work into the project. I'm ready to give blood in a couple of weeks.
