Help For Donor Drive

Many of you have mentioned to me that you would like to help, if there was an opportunity. Well there is a great opportunity. On July 15-16 there will be a stem cell/bone marrow donor drive at New Heights where people can sign up for the National Donor Registry. I will have access to these donors as well as anyone in the world that needs a transplant. It is exciting to think that we may be able to save a life or lives. That is what following Jesus is all about.

To sign up for something in particular or just be available for whatever, here are your contact points.

Judy Howard: howard.dj@gmail.com; 360-609-0520
Janet Baker: janet.baker@gmail.com; 360-892-5472

Some of the needs:

1. This weekend, July 8-9, at all New Heights services there will be a table in the foyer where people can get donor information, pick up pre-screening questions, and pick up a registration form to complete before they come to the drive. There is a need for people at the booth. Don’t worry about answering questions, the materials are self explanatory. All you need to do is look friendly and smile a lot.

2. The following weekend, July 15-16, at all New Heights services there will also be a table in the foyer where people can get information, pick up pre-screening questions, and pick up a registration form so they can complete it before they go to the drive. Again, there is a need for people at the booth.

3. The actual donor drive hours will be Saturday 15th at 3pm-8pm and Sunday 9am-2pm at the New Heights Clinic. The clinic is on the Southwest corner of the property. During those times we will need people to help direct and greet people going to the clinic, help with snacks for the donors, help collect papers and do general cleanup. You can sign up for a shift directly before or after one of the normal worship times and make one trip to the church to help and be helped.

4. There will be many other opportunities to help also. When you contact Judy or Janet, they will have a more complete list.

Thanks for your willingness to help. It is much appreciated.
