On June 15, Punta Gorda Elks Lodge #2606 hosted a blood drive with One Blood, organized by Ambrose Yelovich, PER, chaplain, who has achieved super donor status. At this event, 20 members each donated a pint of blood. One pint saves three lives, so this day equated to 60 lives eventually being saved.
Pictured are Lori O'Brien, One Blood account representative, and super donors Patricia Donovan (7 gallons, 1 pint), Douglas Donovan (8 gallons, 1 pint) and Ambrose Yelovich, PER (26 gallons, 7 pints).
