Our church's partnership with United Blood Services continues to sprout.  In the past month, we had a blood drive at a local Wal-Mart, hoping to get more community involvement and awareness about saving lives through donation.

In today's RGJ, I read about our old friend Mr. Ugly previously mentioned by JacksWords not too long ago. Mr. Ugly became the first Nevadan to give 600 blood platelet donations. According to the article, Mr. Ugly has been giving blood since the late 60's.

His story inspires and encourages us to continue donating blood and platelets to save people's lives.
