As I recall Gary Wunder headed up this convention activity. There have not been any blood drives at our national convention since that one and I never found out why.

I sure hope Darrien Smith reads this. Perhaps our local chapters and state affiliates could conduct similar blood drives. This is another way to combat discrimination against the blind and do community service at the same time.
