Summary
The May through September 2013 Beaver Beacon issues and contemporaneous forum reminders document the July 25 Rita Gillespie Memorial blood drive at Gregg Fellowship Hall. The forum announcement gives a 77-unit target and noon-to-6 p.m. schedule; the September issue reports 63 units collected against a goal of 61, with 70 people attempting to donate and seven first-time donors.
Evidence limits
The September report supplies the published collection and attempted-donor counts; it does not provide a complete donor-level record.
