Thank you for supporting drive

To the editor:

On behalf of family and friends of the Rachel (Osterholt) Theurer 6th Annual Blood Drive, the words thank you don’t even begin to describe how much we appreciate the overwhelming participation and support of blood donation to the American Red Cross.

We appreciate your patience with the extra screening required at the drive. The success of this event to reach the goal of 80 would not be possible without the wonderful donors, volunteers, phlebotomists, Jeri Garringer, WPGW, The Commercial Review and Jay Community Center JCC.

We are most appreciative to Dee for coordinating the drive and volunteers, especially those that worked the extended hour until 6 p.m. to allow more time for donations on this special day. Donations to date given in the six years to honor Rachel Osterholt Theurer are over 555 units.

We hope you will continue to donate in upcoming drives, especially first-time donors and several regular donors who reached gallon milestones. Again, we can’t thank you enough for your donation, as the American Red Cross needs units of blood.

Think of how many lives will be changed forever because of your donation.

Again, with sincere gratitude, thank you from the family and friends of Rachel (Osterholt) Theurer.
