Saving Lives – GULF COAST REGIONAL BLOOD CENTER

By Linda Elissalde
“Some jobs change lives. Others save them,” is the motto of Gulf Coast Regional Blood Center. Crystal Beach Eagles #3719 and Bay Vue United Methodist Church (UMC) teamed up to sponsor their 8th Crystal Beach Community Blood Drive. Eagle’s L.B. Hunt coordinated the event. Twenty-four intended donors showed up to give blood on November 12 in the church parking lot. Eighteen qualified to do so. Those eighteen donors provided enough blood components for up to 54 patients.

Bay Vue UMC and Crystal Beach Eagles thank everyone who contributed to another successful drive. The workers patiently took names, gathered needed information and took care of donors. All who participated join a group of folk who definitely help in saving lives!

    • Miss Bee’s Bolivar Buzz

      By Shannon Williams “If Plan A fails, remember you still have 25 letters left” I love to make plans, it is almost a disease, as I just have to have a plan for just about everything, and I have to admit that I like to plan. I view myself as being flexible to change those plans, as there are just way too many things that can get in the way of a good plan. The past several
