3.    HBA Eagles, you did such a great job supporting the blood drive!  What a great example of how everyone comes together to make a difference in our community... thank you to those of you who donated blood, those who made food, especially Ms. Yoshida and Mrs. Lee, and Ms. Oda's chili, the nurse, the front office, teachers for allowing students to miss class, BJ and the staff for set up, NHS officers for planning and recruiting... it was truly a team effort. The Blood Bank of Hawaii was very glad.  We collected 49 pints, one short of our goal, however most of us who were eligible tried because we made our 70 appointment goal!   I am so proud to be an HBA Eagle.
