By DIANNE CORNISH Having been a blood donor for however, at last Thursday’s Red Cross blood donor clinic in Acton Legion Hall, he was pleased to be on the receiving end. McKenzie was presented with a certificate congratulating him on reaching somewhat of a milestone — donating 75 units of blood. He accepted the award from Geoff Moon, convenor of the Acton clinic and Barbara Vivash, co- ordinator from the Toronto Blood . Centre which looks after Red Cross clinics throughout Central Ontario, including Halton Region. After receiving his award, McKenzie joined the line of donors and ddhated his 76th unit. Moon, who has been convening the Acton clinics since January, 1992, said McKenzie’s support of the event over the years is indicative of the ‘‘kind of community spirit that Acton is known for:’ ime and time again, Acton residents have shown a deep com- mitment towards supporting com- munity activities, he added. me prime example was the spring clinic which collected 173 units. ‘That was a record!”” Moon said enthusiastically. Last week’s clinic attracted 132 donors. With four deferrals, 128 units were collected during the evening. “That’s a very, very good number for this time Moon observed. ‘‘We’re please with the results?’ Acton’s next clinic will be held Sept. 24, The event is held four times yearly: September, December, March and June. “‘We used to have 12 beds (for donors); now, we have 15. We hope to see 18 beds soon;’ Moon said of the steadily growing clinic. Much of the clinic’s success can be attributed to a hard-working crew of Acton and area volunteers, who man the registration desk, work in the kitchen, phone other “T’ve been helping out at clinics for 16 years-plus;’ Schreiber said. “Jean has been a volunteer even longer?’ A former convenor of the clinic for 10 years, Schreiber said organizers are generally pleased with a turnout of 130 people, and last Thursday’s clinic met that objective. Acton resident Glen McKenzie donates his 76th unit of blood after rec: reaching the 75-unit mark from convenor of the Acton clinic.
