  9. Education – Naila Rahman Chalkboarding Still have a few open spots on the chalkboarding crew! Will go around to your assigned building (you will be paired with a partner or two and can decide if you will alternate weeks or work together each week) and write a short message about the blood drives on the chalkboards in that building. *This IS a longer commitment than just one week - it is NOT every week, but is several weeks in the semester. Generally Naila will give you from Friday evening to Sunday evening (or Monday early morning) to get your building completed, and you can choose to go whenever is best for your schedule. Please sign up on the board if you are interested, and Naila will assign you to a building!

  10. Education – Naila Rahman Memoirs Book Interested in ordering a memoirs book? Please sign up on the board (interest sign up only-not a commitment). The book is a compilation of stories about THON that are meant to be inspiring and give a perspective on why we do what we do for the kids. Basketball Game Recruiting We have the opportunity to hand out fliers and increase awareness of our club at the men's basketball game on 2/17 (Thursday night before THON Weekend). We want to use it to publicize our blood drive on that Saturday, 2/19. Tickets are $5 (or $1 if we get more than 25 people to go), so afterwards we would watch the game together! If you are interested, please sign up on the interest sheet on the board.

  11. Fundraising – Mike Jen Fundraising Assistant Divya Ghorpade is the new fundraising assistant! Prize Patrol We will be starting prize patrol soon! If you are interested in helping with prize patrol (soliciting business downtown for donations), please let us know! It is easier to do with a buddy, so we would very much appreciate help! We are looking for 2 people - one to be paired with each of us. You will get hours for it. Please email Mike ASAP to get information.

  12. Fundraising – Mike Jen Platelets Blood supplies are low. So are platelet supplies! Platelets are a clotting factor in your blood. It is very common for cancer patients to require platelets during treatment. Although platelets are obtained from whole blood donations, a dedicated platelet donation can provide 1-3 units of platelets. It usually takes 6-8 whole blood donations to create one full unit, so one dedicated platelet donation can potentially provide as many platelets as 24 whole blood donations! Also, platelets regenerate very quickly in a healthy person, so you can donate them after waiting only 7 days since your last platelet donation (up to 24 times a year). Unfortunately, platelets can only be kept for 5 days, so a constant supply of donors is important.

  13. Fundraising – Mike Jen We need people to sign up to donate platelets. Platelet donations are done at the downtown donor center on Pugh Street (between College and Beaver). The entire process is longer than a normal blood donation - it takes roughly from an hour and a half to 2 hours. An apheresis machine is used. Blood is drawn out of one arm, platelets are removed from it, and the rest is returned along with IV (in the same arm or in the other arm; it's up to you). During the process, you sit in a comfortable bed and watch TV. The needle is smaller and you don't lose red blood cells, so you won't feel tired afterward. As an added bonus, the club will get a $25 donation for a first time successful platelet donor. Also, OSCs that recruit a successful platelet donor will receive $10 (a cut of the fundraising amount the club gets), so get out there and start recruiting!
