Okay these are the details I have so far. We are needing at least 20 people to committ in order for the blood center to bring a bus to our site. That shouldnt be a problem. The blood drive will be held at Emerald Cost Marine on Saturday October 11th. I will nail down a definant time when I speak to the blood center folks tomorrow. I know that there are a few business owners out there in the fishing/hunting industry who are members. I was wondering if your business would be interested in donating some sort of item or items to raffel of as door prizes to those that donate. Dosent have to be high dollar items just somthing to make it more interesting to those that give. To those of you who have never given blood before due to needle shyness there is really nothing to it. It's not near as bad as a wasp sting. Be prepared though. They will ask you a bunch of personal and I mean personal questions so dont be offended. You will be in a private room for the quick 5 minute interview. I really hope we have a big turn out. This will be a great way for members to meet one another and it's for a great cause. How many folks can say "I saved two people's lives today" If all goes well Kenny Mann(Emerald Cost Marine) has offered to have a fall blood drive / cookout for the next one. For the next one, if there is one I would like to get some sponsers and make up a few PFF Blood Drive t-shirts with the sponser name on them. So I need at least 20 warm bodies to committ. Who's in?? EDIT...... If you are interested in donating somthing for a raffel please pm me. Thanks

I'll commit. Gotta tell you that I'm a Virgin. Came real close once, but I "chickened out" :usaflag

That's what you gotta do. Just committ and then you will feel like someone is counting on you and you wont let them down.... Wait...that's me, I am counting on you. I must be honest. Im 39 years old and just gave blood for the first time about 6 months ago. I am/was terafied of needles. But. It was somthing that I have always wanted to do so I just finally made myself do it. The bus comes to our office ever so often and when the e-mail came around looking for volinteers I finally signed up. Once i made the commitment ther was no backing out. I have donated a few times now. I cant believe it took me so long. There is really nothing to it and it makes you feel good about yourself. Thanks for sighing up. I

I love giving blood, I would be all over this but I got inked within this past year.

I've always thought about it, but never got around to it... I'm in for sure.

I'm one of the few guys that deployed a bunch and can still give....



... unfortunately Northwest Florida Blood Center knows I'm O-Neg (a baby saver) so I give every couple months - over three gallons to date. Last donation was less then 4 weeks ago.



Dude's if you've never saved a life - try it once. After you do, walk out and say, "I just saved a life". If O-Neg say, "I just saved 4 baby's" and buy yourself a beer because it's true.

I'm in. I'm not a regular donor, but I have donated many pints over the years. Doing it the first timeis the battle. Once you do, it is no big deal and it feels good to be helping others.
