Blood Mobile at Nelson reaches goal

The Red Cross Blood Drive arrived in Nelson Friday morning for another successful day. Once again the goal of 62 donations was reached.  

Some donors had to be turned away.  The schedule filled up quickly, probably because the Red Cross checks the donors blood for the COVID-19 antibodies which can be used for COVID patients.  

Following is the list of donors:  Dave Ochsner (7 gal.); Wayne Petersen; Ken Himmelberg; Dale Endorf (4 gal.); Chris Hansen; Ramon Otero; Julie Worman; Chelsey Seamann; Carol Buschkoetter; Lames Bailey; Jim Woerner; Samantha Haba; Deb Troudt; Cindy Hewitt; Brian VanSteenberg; Lacey Hajny (1 gal.); Diane Gebers (4 gal.); Randy Koehler; John Hodge; Larry Warneking (8 gal.); Jan Menke; Greg and Michelle Williams (First Timers); Craig Cox; Diane Wehrman; John Schutte; Sarah Utecht; Brent Menke; Jeff Hutchinson; Keith and Susan Rogers; Jennifer Jensen ( 6 gal.); Linda Schrauger; Amaya Rasmussen; Royce Gonzales; Trish Honeycutt (5 gal.); Joe and Gwynne Mazour; Chris Johanson; Mike Buresh; Alfred Hanson; Teresa Walton; Terri Oltmans; Carrie Miller; Jenell Wood; Brenda Schott; Lynn Culbertson; Barry Melvin; Ken Ostdiek; Sally Uhrmacher; Craig Corman (First Timer); Tom Murray; Kevin Stoudt; Wylie Jensen; Greg and Jean Stichika (First Timers); Scott Corman; Lanis Jorgenson and Ethan Feistner.

The women of Salem Lutheran Church served the lunch. Kim Oschsner and Mary Wheeland did temperature checks at the front door.  

The Red Cross arrives in Nelson every eight weeks for a drive. All whole blood donors are eligible to donate again.  

Mark the calendar for Monday March 8 when the Blood Mobile will be back. And also Wednesday, May 5 for the following drive.
