To the community,

The Barton Memorial Hospital Auxiliary and Sacramento Blood Source would like to thank the local businesses who generously provided donations at the Auxiliary Blood Drive on May 1 at the South Lake Tahoe Recreation Center.

The Barton Auxiliary collected more than $700 in gifts for our gracious blood donors. We received gift certificates for a tasty meal from the restaurants Agave Azul, Ernie’s Coffeeshop, My Thai, and Lake Tahoe Golf Course. Tahoe Bowl stepped in for an active bowling thank you. Lastly, the Barton Hospital Gift Shop and the Attic Thrift Store supplied vouchers for their stores.

We appreciate the thoughtfulness in giving back to those who kindly donate their blood and platelets for our community needs. Our next Blood Drive is July 31.

Sincerely,

Cathy Vogelgesang, Barton Auxiliary member
