Give gift of life Sept. 70 For the first time in more than a year, a Red Cross Blood Donors' Clinic is planned for the Town of Penetanguishene. Thanks to members of Penetanguishene Secondary School's student council who came up with the brain wave to generate "'com- munity involvement,' the clinic will be staged at the Penetanguishene high school next Wednesday, Sept. 10. The hours will be from 1:30 p.m. to 8:30 p.m., according to an official from the Huronia Branch of the Red Cross, Sandy Boucher. Mrs. Boucher told this newspaper this week, the clinic's goal next Wednesday will be at least 350 pints of blood and with the support of those in the area, this goal can be reached. Donors between the ages of 18 and 65 or 17- year-olds with the written consent of their parents or guardians will have the op- portunity of a life-time next Wednesday to donate "the gift of life."' Much has been written and said in the past concerning these clinics and why they are so essential so as to keep our Red Cross blood banks stocked up. However since this is a Penetanguishene Secondary School student council project to drum up community involvement and sup- port, with any luck at all next week's clinic should meet its 350-pints of blood goal. A reminder again, the clinic will be held at PSS next Wednesday, Sept. 10 from 1:30 p.m. to 8:30 p.m. It will be a combined effort of the Huronia Branch of the Red Cross and the student council at PSS. Mark the date down on your calendar and make certain you and your friends are on hand next week to give '"'the gift of life..."' Everybody is counting on you.
