Blood Drive Will Be Held Septemeber 30 at the Commercial Building in Chinook

The last two Red Cross blood drives held were a success. The next blood drive is on September 20th from 12 noon-6pm and will be held at the Commercial Building down at the fairgrounds in Chinook.

The Chinook community has hosted two blood drives recently. One on May 10th and one on July 19th. Both were a great success with 46 units collected in May on a goal of 45, and 57 units collected in July on a goal of 45. We registered four first time donors in May and two in July. The canteen was hosted by the women of the Methodist Church in May and by Zion and Presbyterian churches in July.

I would like to extend my gratitude and appreciation to all the donors as well as everyone who helped in one way or another to make the process run smoothly.

I would especially like to acknowledge pastor Jack Mattingly and the United Methodist Church for use of Wallner Hall these past few years. They have been a very accommodating host. I wish Pastor Jack the best on his new journey of retirement.

We are looking forward to seeing you at the fairgrounds on September 20th.
