Caring Circle organized a recent Blood Drive at Gleneagles Golf Club.
Ten Islanders went over as a group on the 1230 ferry (others donated coming home from town) and were wonderful escorted by a Canadian Blood Services shuttle van up to Gleneagles, shuttled back to the water taxi dock, and Brian Biddlecomb very graciously and generously donated his time (and gas) to pick up we ‘depleted’ donors. Canadian Blood Services will be coming back again this summer to Gleneagles on July 19th.
If you’re interested in donating email [email protected] and I’ll start making another list. If we can get 8-10 people, they will pick us up and drop us off. The schedule that seemed to work best is to walk on the 12:45 ferry and we’ll either walk back on the 2:30 or 3:30 ferry or perhaps we might be able to come home on the water taxi.
People have asked me why they can’t actually come to Bowen like they used to many years ago. There are new regulations around being close to a major hospital, so Gleneagles is as close as they’re going to get.
Find a time to give so that others can live!
