Blood bank thanks donors, supporters South Brunswick’s Blood Bank Committee would like to say thanks to the 153 donors who came to our Blood Donor Drive. We appreciate their giving us part of a sunny spring Saturday; 134 units of much needed blood were collected. But we’re hopeful even more folks will join us on Oct. 16 at the Community Center. We hope you’ll make donating blood a lifelong commitment. We also want to thank those who helped us with this drive: Girl Scout Troops 365, 385, 890, 1531, 1558, 1753; and 1800 for delivering fliers; all the volunteers who put up billboards and posters; handled the registration of donors; and feeding the staff. We also acknowledge college-bound Sean Hammer for his years of service; and Girl Scout Troop 65 for helping with our child care for donors. We’re grateful for support from local businesses: A&P, Bagel Basket, Beiler’s Meats, Home Depot, McCaffrey’s, Magyar Bank, Monmouth Mobile Homes, Pierre’s Bakery, ShopRite, Super Stop & Shop, Tastee Subshop II, Theo’s Family Restaurant, Wegmans and Wild Oats. If you’d like to join our committee and/or lend a helping hand with our coming blood donor drives, please call me at (732) 297-3198. Martin Engel Chairman Blood Bank of South Brunswick
