Louie,
It must have been the Cannoli donor bonus, which made your mobile drive the second highest results on Saturday. The other one has been established for 20+ years, so you and your members are very successful.
We were successful in collecting 40 units with only two (2) deferrals – this translates into 120 patients being assisted with the “gift of life” within the 170 hospitals we serve daily.
Thanks very much to you and Anne as Chairpeople for your personal commitment to this important life saving community partnership. We look forward to continued success with the Reagan Masonic Lodge.
PS: Thanks for allowing me to sample your wonderful edible creation.
