  14. Education – Naila Rahman Charles Drew Blood Donation Campaign National Bone Marrow Registry To end our THON Blood Drives, this weekend there will be a blood drive in the IM Building. Here, you can not only donate blood, but also potentially save more lives by entering the Bone Marrow Registry. The process includes filling out some paperwork and a simple cheek swab.... completely painless

  15. Fundraising – Mike Jen Paint The Town Red prizes! Even though it's still a month away, we need prizes for PTTR! Please start thinking about anything you or your family would be able to contribute. For example, last year a club member made some pretty cool handbags that were pretty popular. Also, my dad does wood turning as a hobby, so I'm definitely going to ask him for some of his wooden bowls during break. Pretty much anything you can think of would be great. If you have something in mind but aren't sure, feel free to email me at maj214@psu.edu
