Blood drive

Nathan Sievert of Little Falls, a student at Central Lakes College in Brainerd, donated a pint of his blood during the American Red Cross Blood Drive hosted by the Student Senate at CLC on Dec. 1. Heather Oeltjenbruns, a phlebotomist with the St. Cloud office of the Red Cross, was one of the agency workers to staff the six-hour project in the campus gymnasium. During the fall drive on the Brainerd and Staples campuses, more than 100 students and staff members donated blood. The Dec. 1 drive exceeded a goal of 65 with a total of 75 students, faculty, and staff donating blood. The Veterans Club earned the pizza party for highest percentage of member donors. Winners of the $25 Bookstore gift cards were Elizabeth DeJaegher and Lisa Burke. The next blood drive on the Brainerd campus is Wed., March 2.
