Those wonderful blood donors

To the editor:
The American Red Cross held a special Type O blood drive at the North Branch Senior Center on Jan. 7. Forty-two pints of blood were collected.
Type O blood is always needed as the demand is often higher than the supply. People with Type O blood are often referred to as ìuniversal donorsî because Type O can be transfused with persons with Type O, Type A,Type B and Type AB.
Special thanks to all the volunteers and donors who made this event a success.
There were 45 volunteer donors with three deferrals.
Donors included: Matt Born, Mary Hanson. Evonne Peterson, Harold Hoppe. Arle Chambers, Amy Reider, Sherry Pearce, Susan Engstran, Donald Cardinal, Tye Lutgen, Karen Lunde, Edward Hals, Elizabeth Fairbanks, Marvin Blomquist, Gerald Fairbanks, Dale W. Swanson, Desi Rajdl, Jack H. Walker, Kathryn Schmaltz, Mary Lofgren, Scott Blomquist, Gail Ann Weber, Sylvia Nordquist, Charles Heinzel, David Hanson, Charles Johnson, Robert Grissman, William Deming, Dudley Peno, Ken Young, Karen Mittelstaedt, Scott Ostrom, Neil Bauernfeind, Donna Bursaw, Brenda Wade, Suzanne Hischer, Cheryl Ostrom, Victor Johnson, Heather Mansk, Gayle Carter, Michelle Egelkraut, Allan Gustafson, Steven Blomquist, Tom Linder and Kris Leadens.
Thanks to Virginia at the senior center for all her assistance.
To greeters: Evonne Peterson, Diane Haslach, Carol Gustaf-son, Verna and Harold Hoppe.
To servers: Carol Cantwell, Corrine Johnson, Barbara Egelkraut and Eileen Fisk.
