June 4th and 5th was also our club's island blood drive. Our club, and four other island non profits, receive $100 from a local foundation for every pint of blood donated. I usually give a double but was unable to since I received those transfusions back in August. There is a one year waiting period. So my wife and I donated $200 instead because we have not been overly successful at this event.
Wow, did that change this year. The members got motivated and donated or recruited people to donate 159 pints of blood in the name of our club. Multiply that by $100....pretty tidy sum.
I mention this just to point out a rather unique fundraiser, but one that is going to make a lot of Rotary Projects a reality.
