We had a big turn out for Nathan's blood drive. Here are a few pictures of the Fire Dept guys giving blood. UBS wasn't thrilled with us taking pictures, so I only took those of the guys on the fire dept.
Jay Ezell...relaxing
Lil Bo Dixon...all smiles!! (could have been the cute girl that took his blood)
Daddy wondering what I volunteered him for (plasma or platelets)
Chris finishing up!
Justin Lloyd (didn't pass out even though he was scared he would)
Raymond Scott (East Franklin VFD)
Christian Ezell
Bodi Bass
Joseph Cothren
We as a dept set a goal of 50 units...and after LOTS of headache and problems we managed to get 47 units. Which we will get our goal of 50 by the 25th. The blood banks had a surplus of A+ blood, so we had to turn away any A+ people (which sadly was about 25 donors). BUT any A+ people that couldn't donate Fri can donate at FC memorial Hospital on Feb 25th and it will go towards this drive's goals! I was so happy to see a waiting line...Not that making people wait was what I wanted to do, but I was Glad that FC people showed up and showed out in support of Nathan and his family!! THANKS EVERYONE WHO MADE THIS A HUGE SUCCESS!
BTW: United Blood Services called to congratulate us on our turn out for it to have been a 1st time deal for us. She said that they honestly expected us to fall short by about 20 units..WE SHOWED THEM!!!!

That's one of the reason I love FC! You need them and they are there--whether they know you or not. They take care of their own. So proud that the drive was a success.
