THE 2008 WCLV THANKS-4-GIVING BLOOD DRIVE
The 2008 WCLV Thanks-4-Giving Blood Drive on behalf of Lifeshare
Community Blood Services took place on Thursday, November 13th,
and collected some 200 pints. And since each pint can benefit four
patients, some 800 people in Lorain County will benefit.
The day-long event (8:00 am to 8:00 pm) was held at the Spitzer
Conference Center on the campus of Lorain County Community College.
The WCLV blood drive formula of good food, good music, WCLV
Goodybags and good prizes from the WCLV Prize Wheel prevailed. In
addition, a fair with various health and wellness agencies ran concurrently. Live music
to serenade the donors and the air audience was presented by the Quartet Danger from
the Bladwin-Wallace Conservatory of Music; members of the Oberlin Opera Theatre; pianist
Larry Kass, he of the Mighty Wurlitzer Radio Hour; students and faculty members from the
Aurora School of Music and saxophonist Elizabeth Mis.
WCLV air personalities Nancy Sinning, Jacqueline Gerber, John Simna and Robert Conrad
broadcast regular reports on the drive throughout the day.
