Hello All,

I'm hoping you can help me by running this article in The Colchester Sun and Milton Independent and any other sources you might have access to. I am planning to send it to the church newsletters and local Front Porch Forums, but I am not sure where else it could be posted. If you have any questions or concerns, please let me know. You have my email address and my phone number is 802-922-0822.

Thank you,
Janet Stecklare
co-president and blood drive chair, CM Rotary

Help Rotary Fill a Critical Need!

Severe winter weather, deadly tornadoes, flooding and wildfires have forced thousands of blood donations to go uncollected! The Red Cross is looking for blood to add to their banks in an effort to ensure that adequate blood supplies will be there when they are needed. The Colchester-Milton Rotary Club is partnering with the Red Cross to help in those efforts by holding a blood drive in the Colchester community.

When: Tuesday, February 18th. from 11:30 AM to 5:00 PM
Where: Our Lady of Grace Catholic Church
784 Main St. Colchester, VT 05446

There is a critical need for platelets, as well as an emergency shortage of 0 negative and B negative blood, but all blood types are desperately needed.

Our drive features plenty of free parking and delicious homemade baked goods after donating. Everyone who donates that day will be entered in a raffle to win a gift card from a local business. In addition, the Red Cross is awarding every donor a $15 e-gift card to a merchant of their choice. Please call 1-800-RED CROSS (1-800-733-267) or visit RedCrossBlood.org and enter CMROTARY to schedule an appointment! You'll be happy you helped!
