UNM Donor Drive, Wednesday, April 7, 2010

Today was a good day. Aubrie Vargas did a great job of getting us all organized and the Afghan Student Group kept things running smoothly by providing student volunteers throughout the day. Jim became a master at making up the test kits, Patty D. worked at station #2 with forms and information and Patty K. worked station #3 explaining cheek swabs. Robyn Mead came to join the Registry and brought baby Ryan, just four weeks old and Oh, so cute!!! Gene's niece, Ronnie, walked over from North Campus on her lunch break and stayed as long as she could. Kara came after class and then a long time friend of Gene's, Wyman Edwards, came to join the Registry also. Another friend, Vicki Kaufman, teaches math at UNM and she came by to sign up after her class today too. Several Lobo football players joined up and some of the Lobo Women's Basketball team plan to come tomorrow. Tons of support! An unofficial number of 106 new potential donors today and we still have the second day tomorrow, Franny Dever plans to volunteer then. I look forward to another day of filled with caring people taking time out of their day and their lives to come in to join the Registry just because they might Be The Match that answers someone's prayers.
