Monticello Blood Drive a Success

Submitted by admin on Wed, 06/27/2018 - 8:09am

Dear Editor,
The Monticello Red Cross Blood Drive was held on Friday, June 1, 2018, at the Zwingli Church in Monticello. Although there were not a lot of appointments to start the day, we had a good number of walk-ins who helped us to nearly meet our unit goal. The goal for the day was 40 units and we completed the drive with thirty donors and a total of 35 units collected. Thank you to everyone who came and made our blood drive a success!
