Our program this week was Bob Draper with the American Red Cross Blood Services.  Bob talked about blood drives and the operations of the Red Cross in the handling of blood.  “Every Drop Counts” is the campaign slogan the American Red Cross has at present.  Bob encouraged every member to give blood.  Bob is a good prospective member for our club.
