Oct. 14, 2009—Students involved in Duanesburg High School’s Leo Club get the satisfaction of helping others, and now you can too.

On Friday, Oct. 30, the community service club is sponsoring a Red Cross Blood Drive at the high school from 8 a.m. to 1 p.m. Students, parents and community members are invited to donate blood, and help the group reach their goal of 45 donors.

Students who are 16 years old must have parental permission to donate blood. Parental permission is not required for donors who are 17 years old and above. However, photo identification is required. Free t-shirts will be provided.

Appointments may be made by contacting the high school main office at 895-5350. Walk-ins are also welcome.

Other Leo Club initiatives
Earlier this month, members of the Leo Club volunteered to help collect donations during the Duanesburg Lions “White Cane” fundraiser. Monies collected are being used to support programs and services for people who are blind or visually impaired as well as for sight conservation.  

High school students Shannon Crowley, Ali Bullis, Catherine Winters, Montana Fisher, Allison Paludi, Dan Paludi, Nora Kanarkiewicz, Breanne Hotaling, Emily Mayo, Ali Souci and Kristen Boyer helped collect donations at NBT Bank and the Mobil gas station in Duanesburg.
