Rain did not dampen the spirits of Wellington’s American Legion Post 390 on Saturday, July 2 when the group held its inaugural blood drive at the Wellington Community Center.
Of the 14 military veterans from the Korean War to the Gulf War on Terrorism, plus one member’s friend, Post 390 surpassed the minimum goal of donors by four.
The donor service specialists and recruiter from oneblood.org were grateful for the service of Post 390 to call in the troops to make what appeared to be an unsuccessful event into one of their best days. Legionnaire Anthony Tahan even did a “double red cell” donation.
