Bryan Rotary is partnering with the American Red Cross to host a blood drive at the Red Cross office in Bryan (4244 Boonville Rd.) this Saturday, March 28th. As the Executive Director of the Heart of Texas Chapter of the American Red Cross, I am charged with ensuring our blood drives are safe and that we can continue to supply blood to our community and country regardless of natural disaster, warfare or pandemics. I am requesting assistance from my fellow Rotarians as I navigate this mission in unprecedented circumstances. Disruptions to blood donations can lead to shortages and cause delays in essential medical care. As of Monday, 3/23/2020, about 7,000 blood drives, representing approximately 200,000 fewer blood donations, have been canceled in the U.S. due to COVID-19 concerns. As concerns about the coronavirus pandemic rise, you can help by simply communicating these vital messages to the public: • Donating blood is a safe process and people should not be concerned about giving or receiving blood during this challenging time. • More healthy donors are needed to give now to prevent a blood shortage. • Keep scheduled blood drives, which will allow donors the opportunity to give blood. As an emergency preparedness organization, the Red Cross has also taken additional steps to ensure the safety of staff and donors at each Red Cross blood drive.

Blood Drive,Community Health |
Dear Rotarians, As we all know, COVID-19 has us taking extra precautions in an effort to curb the onset of cases. In line with that objective, the board has voted to cancel our club meetings for the remainder of March and April 1. As you may have heard, there is a serious shortage of blood in the blood banks. No surprise, Rotarian AJ Renold and her team at the Red Cross have been working tirelessly to assemble a full team to be able to host a blood drive locally. We will need 30 people who are able to donate blood to show up to donate on Saturday, March 28th. Further details on time and location will be forthcoming. In the meantime, please download the " Blood Donor American Red Cross" app to your phone so you can be prepared to give. Also, please encourage friends and family to do the same. Rotarians, I'm so very honored to serve as your president and to call you friends. Should you have a need, please make it known to me so we can step up. We are the family of Rotary and we will get through this together. Yours in Service, Joan Quintana 2019-2020 President Bryan Rotary Club

Take time November 10-18 to walk through the Field of Valor virtual field trip at Veterans Park. It's geared towards 5th grade students to #Inspire experiential learning. Look for the signs posted at 10 history stations located along the memorial trail. Start at the flag field closest to the softball parking lot with a pledge to the American flag and end with a moment of silence at the War on Terror monument featuring a piece of the World Trade Centers from the 9/11 attack. Click the YouTube playlist below for short video clips provided by Mr. Pratt (A&M Consolidated US History and Economics teacher) and download or print the script booklet to read about the 10 history stations.

At our Blood Drive on Wednesday, August 3, twenty-three Qualifying Donors contributed 36 Units of Blood which doubled the totals from our January drive. This impressive result occurred because so many donors volunteered to do automated donations through the apheresis machines. A special thanks to the many Bryan & Aggieland Rotarians who took time to donate and especially to Charles Gilliland for coordinating the drive! Check out the video link and we hope you can join us in January 2012 at our next blood drive.
