Blood Meeting Recap/Upcoming Events!

[Alison Zhong]

Hello Blood Committee!

It was great seeing some new faces on Thursday, and we hope all of you that couldn't make it had a lovely week! Here's a recap of what went down at the meeting, minus the crazy shenanigans:


CANTEENING ORIENTATION
Sunday, April 7th (tomorrow), meet outside Dwinelle at 3:30 pm (should be less than 1 hr)
Come get trained to canteen at blood drives if you haven't already done so! We can't let those who have not been trained canteen, sorry! If you come late, we'll be in 235 Dwinelle, and if we're not, call/text (503) 385-5586. (:


OUR NEXT BLOOD DRIVE
Wednesday, April 17th, Alumni House 12-6pm
We will begin tabling/flyering Wednesday, the 10th! Sign up here: http://www.wejoinin.com/sheets/djmel
And for tabling/flyering and canteening on the day of the blood drive: http://www.wejoinin.com/sheets/annoz
The table should be on Sproul across from GBC. Contact one of us if you can't find it! Also, we ask that those of you who want to canteen, please table/flyer for at least 2 hours. Just give us a heads up if those times really don't work for you but you would still like to canteen!


PRE-BLOOD DRIVE AWARENESS EVENT
Friday, April 12th, Unit 1 Courtyard 5-6pm (set-up at 4:30)
Help us and ResHall inform people about blood donation and get donors! Sign up here: http://www.wejoinin.com/sheets/msidt


SLIVER SOCIAL (yum!)
Friday, April 12th, Sliver (on Center, between Oxford and Shattuck) at 7:30 pm
Come eat yummy pizza and get to know the committee and your fellow volunteers! We'll have some fun games too! Contact us if you want a cool buddy/group to walk with. (:


LAST GENERAL MEETING
Thursday, April 18th, 126 Barrows 7-8:30 pm
It's your chance to see what American Red Cross @ Cal is up to this semester and everything that YOU have helped accomplish! It is also the last opportunity you'll have to pay your $10 membership dues for the semester, which gets you discounts on certain events and, along with 10 hours of service, gets you into our end of year/semester banquet! You don't want to miss out!


Also, please let us know if you're still interested in doing presentations for the Blue Tie Tag Program. Learn more here: http://www.redcrossblood.org/info/northernca/blue-tie-tag-program. We really need to know if it's something you guys still want to do!

Congrats for making it through this Monster e-mail!!! We'll keep you posted on upcoming meetings, socials, family activities/competitions, etc. (:

Thank you all so much for all your hard work, and we look forward to getting to know all of you even better!

Your lovely coordinators and interns,
Katherine Hsieh, Suraj Nagaraj, Karen Pan, Madhu Suresh, and Alison Zhong

[Shalini Setty]

Hello! I was not here this weekend and I actually came back an hour ago, so
I could not attend canteening orientation. Is it possible to train me
individually before the blood drive?

Thank you so much,
Shalini

Hi Shalini, what does your schedule look like this week? We should be able to work something out.
