Miller-Keystone Blood Drive

Miller-Keystone Blood Center's bimonthly Palmerton community blood drive at the First United Church of Christ on Aug. 28 drew 70 potential donors, and 61 pints were collected.Since donations typically decrease during the summer, and there were no Trima machines (with which one donor can give two or three units) this time, the registration goal was lowered from the usual 65 to 50. Faithful donors from community showed up as usual.The visit was sponsored by Janet Snyder and Carol and Joseph Frey, in memory of Jean Behler.The following donors reached gallon levels: Helen Nonnemaker, 20 gallons; John Cebrosky, 18 gallons; David Huszar, 15 gallons; Robert Borgia and Alan Scott, 6 gallons each; Tracy Carey and Rickey Kocher, 4 gallons each; James Engle, 3 gallons. There was one first-time donor.Volunteers included George Ashman, Mary Beth Beers, Romaine Biege, Harry Brown, Jane Cervenak, "Honey'" Cyr, Arlene Dombrosky, Thomasine Falcone, Linda Finley, Jean Fritzinger, Jean Halmi, Anita Harry, "Bif" Hayes, Roseann Heydt, Bernice Kleintop, Nancy Kresge, Paula Lendvay, Helen Nonnemaker, Darlene Nothstein, Susan Olivia, Carol Papay, Evelyn Plechavy, Marge Porambo, Gwen Rodrigues, Terri Sebelin, Betty Steigerwalt, Susan Steigerwalt, Mary Taschler, Brian Wanamaker, Annette Wargo, Tara Wargo and Brenda Wentz.The next Miller community visit will be on Oct. 27.
