“New blood” makes Northlea clinic a big success

It’s sort of a joke among the hard-working people who organize blood donor clinics that finding new donors is a big win. They call it — um — new blood.  This week new blood was a critical and most welcome element at the Northlea Public School clinic. Organizer Anne Murray wrote in a group mail that the clinic collected 137 units of blood, the third largest in the clinic’s eleven-year history. Some 168 people registered but of course testing must eliminate some. Anne sent a hearty “well done” to everyone.
