The Rotary Club of Decatur sponsored the Battle of the Badges blood drive. The Decatur Police Department and the Decatur Fire Department helped greatly in getting people out. The latest donor count is FD 23 and PD 20.CVS in Decatur has partnered with our club over the years to help Cater Blood collect much needed blood. There were 2 buses there and all time slots were filled before collection day by registering online. Reserve your spot. While we had some not make their time slot, Carter filled spots with "walk ups" as they could. People unfortunately were turned away. Cater reports they saw 41 people at the event. It was so successful we are hosting Battle of the Badges Part Two on September 12,2020  Click the link to reserve your spot! https://ww2.greatpartners.org/donor/schedules/drive_schedule/114836
