Q: Do I need special skills?
- Not unless you want to be a clown (to entertain the children).
Q: Do I need to work or donate at each blood drive?
- Not unless you want to. Even Vince Bruns missed one drive because of a trip. You work or donate when you can, but don't lightly hold yourself excused - the need is too great!
Q: How often are the drives held?
- Three times a year: late January, mid-May and mid-September.
Q: How long do I need to work?
- That depends on the job. Canteen workers, registration workers, and donation facilitators work a two-hour shift. Phone callers spend about 2-3 hours making calls over a 2-3 week period of time. Off-loaders and loaders spend about 1 hour each as do furniture movers.
Q: Is there a schedule?
- There is no schedule. Each blood drive is handled on an availability basis.
Q: Who contacts me?
- Lori Tanner contacts the donation facilitators, Connie Winter contacts the registration workers, and Maureen Gardiner contacts the canteen workers. Vince Bruns contacts phone callers (who call the potential donors) and other workers.
Q: Can I work with a friend or relative?
- Sure - just let us know what you would like to do!
Q: Do you have the dates of any upcoming blood drives?
- Yes - September 16, 2006 and January 20, 2007.
