H茅ma-Qu茅bec held a two-day blood drive at Dawson on Sept. 13-14 and a total of 121 students and employees donated blood. Of these, 31 were first-timers! Many first-timers said it was easy and that they would do it again.
M. Lauzon of H茅ma-Qu茅bec said that they exceeded their goal of 120 donors and that it was an 鈥渆xcellent鈥� result, especially considering that they have been experiencing up to 30 per cent of no-show鈥檚 for appointments elsewhere.
