Other donors on this day earning gallon award pins were:
Joan Childers, 3 gallons; Al Kluthe, 12 gallons; Rhonda Miller, 10 gallons; Rick Starman, 6 gallons; and Joan Stuhr, 6 gallons.
In addition to the above 6 people, bloodmobile organizer Lori Widger said, “we recognized (through gallon award pins) several more people who had met gallon ‘milestones’ over the last 18 months, when the accurate count of units donated was not available to us. Now that it has been corrected and we can properly thank those who’ve met various gallon milestones … we recognized the following people when they arrived to donate at last week’s drive:
Mary Bartak, 5 gallons; Gary Bartak, 4 gallons; Steve Busteed, 7 gallons; Char Carpenter, 7 gallons; Angela Cuffe, 1 gallon; Evan Davis, 3 gallons; Lonnie Dinslage, 9 gallons; Mary Alice Dwyer, 7 gallons; Red Eischeid, 8 gallons; Linda Eischeid, 5 gallons; Larry Borer, 6 gallons; Janet Davis, 6 gallons; Wayne Elliott, 6 gallons; Gary Kerkman, 12 gallons; LeRoy Kerkman, 16 gallons; Linda Kerkman, 5 gallons; Elma McLain, 12 gallons; Marvin Meis, 9 gallons; Duane Miller, 9 gallons; Craig Niewohner, 2 gallons; Chris Redding, 14 gallons; Joan Schindler, 11 gallons; Gary Scholl, 5 gallons; Ron Scholl, 13 gallons; Phil Starman, 9 gallons; Donna Uhrenholdt, 5 gallons; and Darline Warner, 4 gallons.
“There are about 40 other people who have met and exceeded gallon milestones over the last 18 months, and we would like to recognize them as they come in to donate at future drives,” Widger said.
The next bloodmobile in Elgin will be on Friday, August 22, at Elgin’s KC Hall from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. “Anyone who would like to preschedule to reserve the time they prefer can call me anytime between now and then at 402-843-0397,” Widger said.
