Donate for the 2025 OneBlood Fourth of July T-shirt Donate for the 2025 OneBlood Fourth of July T-shirt


I got one of these T-shirts after I arrived there a little late after making the wrong turn and not having my Villages golf cart map. Discovered a lot of the Villages I had not seen like most of the Glenview Champion Golf Course as I turned left rather than right coming from the Auburndale Avenue golf cart short cut onto Addison Avenue. I was on Talley Ridge Drive for most of its stretch north.

I am learning the short cuts via golf cart paths between various Villages.

Picked up some very good bacon and chicken sandwiches at Publix near the Villages Hospital and Freedom Pointe and then took the easy route of Morse back to CR466. I have never been on the part of Morse near CR466. Had to wait and see how others got South .

You were up in my neck of the woods. I like that Publix. I've never used One Blood, I'm a Life South donor. Platelets and plasma only though, donating whole blood always makes me too lightheaded and nauseated.

I donated at Life South a few times back around 2005 and 2006 in Marion County and maybe in Sumter. I remember driving a ways into Marion County.

When in Palm Harbor I donated at Florida Blood Centers which seems to have become One Blood. I would run into a thirty something very large man once in a while at these donation sites.

I would also sometimes see him at the Palm Harbor movie theater. He and his mother would also I occasionally be in front of me when I was volunteering at the Palm Harbor Public Library and I was checking people out with their books.


Unfortunately he and his mother made the news when he died in a confrontation with the police after he had some kind of mental health breakdown and chased his mother down the street and had some kind of heart attack after being tased. Or maybe when they tackled him. Not sure of the exact details.
