Thank you for blood donations

To the editor:

Thank you to everyone who participated in the Sept. 11 American Red Cross blood drive.

We were excited to see so many come to donate. We exceeded our goal for a total of 69 units received.

We are proud of our community for helping ensure lifesaving blood is available for patients in hospitals throughout our area.

As a blood donor or volunteer, each of you has helped the Red Cross fulfill their mission of a safe and ample blood supply.

We hope you will all look forward to saving more lives at our next drive Nov. 16 at the Hillsboro Mennonite Brethren Church.
