This photo shows Rotarian Mike Tindall with Gayle Voyer from the Canadian Blood Services. Gayle spoke to the club about the local Blood Donor Clinic and an overview of "What You Must Know To Give Blood". Vernon has scheduled donor clinics at the Trinity United Church, 3300 Alexis Park Way - people can just show up and go through the process, or book an appointment on-line at their website - www.blood.ca Gayle outlined the process that everyone goes through at the clinic before the person is allowed to give blood, and explained that someone eligible to donate blood can do this anywhere from once a year to every 56 days. A person's blood type is identified at the clinic and they will later receive a card in the mail showing what type they have. There are many questions about the process, who can give blood and who is screened out of it and what to expect at the clinic. These questions can be answered at their website - www.blood.ca
