MyLunchMoney.com Lunchtime Activity Homecoming Te n n i s P a g e 5 Since 1948, BloodSource has been collecting blood donations and providing life- saving blood products to our communities and beyond. BloodSource is the source of nearly every drop of blood used in over 40 hospitals in 25 countries from Merced to the Oregon border, from Sonoma County to Lake Tahoe. "Giving blood is a way to giving back to your community," stated Mr. Null who is in charge of the Blood Drive. BloodSource is committed to growing with our communities and to consistently provide a readily available, safe blood supply. The blood donations provide life-saving treatments to accident victims, surgery patients, cancer patients, and many others in need. One donation has the potential to save up to 3 lives. If 50 people donate, they could provide enough blood to take care of victims of a major car crash, and if 20 people donate, they could help one burn victim. In order to give blood you must be in generally good health, weigh at least 110 pounds, and bring photo identification or your BloodSource donor card. You may not give blood if you are taking any antibiotics for infection, been out of the country in the last year and if you had a tattoo in the last year. "I've been doing this for 5 years, last year was the first year that Corning beat us and I'm not happy about that," stated Null. During the Blood Drive you will be there for approximately one hour or even longer. You will have a 20 to a 30 minute registration and or medical history interview, where you provide name, address, date of birth and phone number. You will have to bring your photo identification card. You will be asked a number of confidential questions to ensure that you are eligible to give blood and to make sure your donation is safe for the patients that will receive the blood. A blood donor evaluator will take your temperature, blood pressure and blood count. Finally, you'll be escorted to a donation chair and prepare you for your donation type, which is either whole blood or automated donation. Whole blood is blood which is drawn directly from the body which plasma, platelets, red and white blood cells that have not been removed. An automated Life saving blood donors gather BloodSource visits RBHS to collect donations which will be used throughout the world Manton Apple Festival The Manton apple Festival will take place October fourth, which is the first Saturday of the month as well as tomorrow. The event has been occurring since 1992 and is a generally apple themed event. Senior Hailey Pritchard, a Manton resident, enjoys the event because, "It has rockin apple pie." The event is a venue for various crafts, food products and artisan created art. The apples involved are all locally grown. The festival also features live entertainment, family entertainment and various contests such as apple pie baking as well as eating. According to the website, mantonapple.com, free parking is a brief walk away. The pie baking contest is both open to all as well as free. One of the divisions is for children 17 years of age or younger, and the other is for adults. The pies will be judged on appearance, crust as well as filling. A nine inch pie must be brought to the main tent by 9:30 the morning of the event. The prizes will include $100 to the first prize adult and $50 to the first prize child. Second place will receive $60 for adults and $25 for the child. Finally, third place will receive $40 for the adult and $15 for the child. There are two divisions of pie eating, one for eight to 10 year olds and one for 11 to 13 year olds. The first place winners will receive $10 each. The contest will occur following the pie judging contest at the main tent. Scheduled musical events will occur throughout the day. For one hour, starting at nine in the morning, will be Rolling Disaster. Ten minutes later, Old Kennett String Band will perform for an hour. Other musical events following the same schedule time include Matthew Songmaker and Sami Jo, Shingletown Bound and On the Fly, ending with Wild Card Band. The proceeds from booth rentals and the pie booth sales go towards non-profit organizations as well as scholarships which support Manton students. donation is a donation made with the assistance of a special machine. Instead of having your blood f low into a bag, the blood enters the machine where it "spins" the blood to separate the plasma, platelets, and red and white blood cells. During a whole blood donation the BloodSource blood collections professional will draw about a pint of blood from your arm, which will take about 5 to 7 minutes. After your donation, there is a variety of drinks and snacks to help replenish your f luids. The BloodSource collection professionals encourage you to rest and relax for 10 to 15 minutes to ensure you're ready to get back to your day. The blood drive at RBHS occurred Tuesday, September thirtieth. Other Blood drives will occur at the campus later in the year as well as in upcoming years in order to donate the maximum amount of blood which will save lives.
