Blood Drive

We will also begin work on our Blood Drive projects in preparation for the HMS annual Blood Drive on March 8th


You can start to make a list of 10 people you will ask to donate blood in hopes that one will say "yes".  Think of neighbors, family, friends who live close to Yarmouth.  

Here is an example of a sample donor letter to send to your selected 10 donors.
