Successful blood drive

Molly Vetter, Center Manager for United Blood Services, had the following report from yesterday's blood drive in Groton: "We had an amazing day today; we saw 47 donors through the door and ended up with a total of 54 lifesaving blood products.  Because of the great support of this community blood drive and all of the dedicated volunteer blood donors in your area 141 lives will be saved!!"

Paul Kosel tried out the new on-line questionnaire at the blood drive. The new system was launched on Monday. It allows people to answer all of the questions before they even get to the blood drive. The questionnaire must be completed the day of the blood drive and can be found on-line at www.unitedbloodservices.org, click on health history in the lower left hand corner of the page.
