Each year, the Yosemite Lions Club hosts two blood drives in conjunction with the Central California Blood Center. This year, representatives from the CCBC visited the fall blood drive in El Portal to observe the operation. The club received the following letter commending our volunteer work:
Central CA Blood Center Letter
Lions Club member Bill Thomas coordinates all blood drives for the club and deserves special thanks for consistently organizing this important task. During the fall blood drive that took place this year on October 27, Yosemite community members donated 67 units of blood, a near record amount for the community. Thanks to all who donated blood, time and effort to this crucial program that helps saves lives.
Since 1948, the Yosemite Lions Club has sponsored fundraising events in Yosemite National Park to benefit the Yosemite community. Attend our monthly meeting the first Thursday of every month at the Ahwahnee Hotel in Yosemite Valley, or better yet, attend one of our events or serve as a volunteer!
