PursuitSAFETY's National Blood Drive will become our annual event to give back to our communities. So far, we have volunteers in these regions/cities: northern California, Idaho, southwestern Illinois, Indianapolis, northern Oregon and Idaho. We need more volunteers from across the country. Send an email to Kim Schlau, our team leader for the Midwest. Kim has organized memorial blood drives in the names of her daughters. Kim and Candy Priano will hold a conference call meeting with volunteers, explaining how to contact their local Red Cross and engage the Red Cross in our efforts. Each state will conduct memorial blood drives in the names of innocent victims and officers in that state. We welcome your ideas and help.
