Blood Donors In Parrotise 2017

January 5, 2017.

These were very good hot dogs at least they were the last time I donated at Station 44.

Thanks for the Post. I was just working on one myself. Last February when we did our last winter drive we were able to collect 30 GALLONS that's Gallons not Pints.. We're hoping to at least tie that this year again. FYI all Double Red Donors will get 2 movie tickets.

I was trying to plan my donations for the next few months and spotted "Blood Donors in Parrotise". Good luck with this drive. I am doing platelets so I have to go see my gang at the Villages One Blood facility every two-to-three weeks.

Thanks I enjoy working with those guys. We have 3 drives set up. 1/5 ,5/11 & 9/11

Some of those One Blood phlebotomists should have been comedians. They crack me up with their sometimes antics. And they usually do these when I have a needle in each arm and cannot move at all.

Reminder of the Parrot Head Blood Drive. 1-05-2017. I have a few friends who are long time Parrot Heads.

Blood Donors In Parrotise 2017

I have my appointment on the 5th of January. Do you?

I have a platelet donation on Wed, the 4th. I only donate whole blood when they tell me to for lowering my iron counts. They need the platelets too bad to not donate.

I have seven platelet donations set up from mid-January through late March of 2017.

They have their platelet donor $20, $40 and $60 gift cards program on again for the months of January through March. You have to donate platelets 4, 5 or 6 times to get this.

I hope to get the $60 gift card program reward by making 6 donations of platelets over those three months.

I like the t-shirts and stuff at the Donors in Parrotise Blood Drive. They have had pretty good hot dogs and hamburgers too the times I have been there. And you can meet the firemen if you want to which seems to be a draw for some women.

Do you tell the staff at Oneblood that you donated at another location so they can add it to your annual donations?

It is a One Blood blood drive. They have a record of it.

I did donate a few times in Tampa and Marion County at Florida Blood Services and Life South after I started donating at One Blood (then Florida Blood Centers) in 2007.

I kept track of when I had donated and the like so I would not endanger my health.

Having some trouble logging onto One Blood to check all this. That's a bummer.

Don't forget we only need about 1 hour of your time. Walk ins are always welcome. You will receive at least 1 movie ticket, a Cody's discount coupon, hot dog and snacks. Besides that your one donation will help save lives. Hope to see you there. I've got my arm out, do you ?

Thanking you in advance. Skip Blood Drive Chairperson

All set for Thursday. One Blood's web-site is working again after I e-mailed them about my problem accessing my account.

Hope you get a good turn-out on Thursday.

The Daily Sun has the Blood Drive down as Friday

[I]It's on Thursday from 9-4 PM at Station #44. Walk ins are welcome

They do make some glaring mistakes. I hope that does not hurt your drive's turnout. You guys should demand a retraction from the Villages Daily Sun that comes out tomorrow.

I just got back from my platelet donation. They were busy on the platelet side, but nobody on the whole blood side. Must be the whole blood donors are waiting for the blood drive tomorrow. If there are any platelet donors out there who haven't donated lately, there are NO PLATELET DONATION APPOINTMENTS TOMORROW. That's a bad thing, so if you can, donate platelets tomorrow.

I will help spread this note's message.

I have a platelet donation appointment in a few weeks.

My blood donation went OK. Had Juanita as a kind of greeting person. She did well on December 23, 2016 for the platelets. Another lady did the sticking.

Hot dog was good. It seemed like they were getting a good turn out with their five buses.

Thanks to all those who showed up today. We had 220 people sign up to donate. It was a GREAT day. Thanks again !

That's good to hear skip0358.

Pretty friendly people there. And it looked like members of the press were showing up too.

Yes was great 194 pints collected at final count from One Blood.
Again THANKS TO ALL !!
:bigbow:

Will try to get to the 5/11 blood drive!

5/11 The Villages Parrot Head Club -- Bloodmobile
 

All set up!

Thanks. See you there. Bring some friends and yes we will have Hot Dogs again. Also mark your Calendar 9/11 will be after that one !

Most of my One Blood friends just do platelets.

I hope you guys will be giving out the movie tickets again!!!
