The traditional drive held at the Menges home with the bloodmobile was not possible because of the pandemic, so a bigger location was needed. John Parks, owner of the beautiful and newly renovated Stewart Manor County Club, generously offered his space, and thanks to him, the blood drive was better than ever. The NY Blood Center ran an organized, efficient, and safe event; masks were worn, and social distancing was practiced throughout. Also, a big shout-out to Kenny at Bagel Man who donated bagels for the staff and donors.
