The Key Club's second blood drive of the year was a success! Ten Key Club members worked the drive setting up, registering donors, and explaining how to access Fast Track, which is where donors complete their health history questionnaire. Having donors complete this before they donate helps the Vitalant staff keep the drive running smoothly. The crew processed 30 appointments, 26 registered donors, and were key in the success of collecting 25 successful donations! Great work Key Club!
