In a testament to the generosity of our patrons, the Great Neck Library's Blood Drive collected 45 pints of blood at our Blood Drive on Wednesday, the most in several years! We held our drive from 1:30 to 7:30 and the wonderful professionals from the New York Blood Center screened and took care of the donors with smiles and music playing and yummy snacks at the end.
During the brief time that I was there to give blood, I saw donors as young as 16 years old come in to donate for the first time as well as older folks who are regular donors.
It might have been a bigger draw than usual because of the free Mets tickets the New York Blood Center was offering. I don't know. But we are grateful nonetheless for everyone's generosity.
If you were not able to join us on July 25th, you can go online to the New York Blood Center and find where the next blood drive nearest you will take place.
