Previously Announced

The American Red Cross Blood Drive that was held on February 29th was a success! Thanks to all of you who volunteered your time. We were able to donate 15 pints of blood to a local hospital. Each pint of blood will save three lives!

A special thank you to Mark Burke for allowing us to use the MSSD Gym and to Charles Welsh-Charrier for volunteering his time as an interpreter.
