A MAJOR SOURCE OF DONATIONS IS HIGH SCHOOL BLOOD DRIVES, BUT FEW SCHOOLS ARE HOLDING THEM THIS YEAR. [LYNBROOK HIGH SCHOOL IS] ONE OF THE FEW ORGANIZATIONS THAT WAS ABLE TO THINK OUTSIDE OF THE BOX. TO COMBAT THE CRISIS, THE LHS KEY CLUB TEAMED UP WITH THE NEW YORK BLOOD CENTER TO HOLD ITS ANNUAL BLOOD DRIVE, DESPITE OBSTACLES POSED BY THE PANDEMIC. IT TOOK PLACE ON SATURDAY, DEC. 19 AT THE LYNBROOK KNIGHTS OF COLUMBUS LOCATED AT 78 HEMPSTEAD AVE. FROM 8 A.M. TO 2 P.M., MORE THAN 65 STUDENTS, STAFF, ALUMNI, AND COMMUNITY MEMBERS DROPPED BY TO DONATE, AND MORE THAN 80 PINTS OF BLOOD WERE COLLECTED, SAVING AROUND 240 LIVES. CO-PRESIDENTS OF THE KEY CLUB, SENIORS CARLY TUCKER AND MARTI CANDEL, WERE VERY PLEASED WITH HOW THE EVENT TURNED OUT. TUCKER SAID, “EVEN THOUGH THIS YEAR IS NOT WHAT WE PLANNED, WE’RE STILL SO THANKFUL THAT SO MANY PEOPLE CAME AND DONATED. WE LOVE OUR KEY CLUB FAMILY!” CANDEL ADDED, “WE LOOK FORWARD TO OUR NEXT DRIVE IN APRIL AND CONTINUING ALL OF OUR WORK THROUGHOUT THE YEAR [IN ORDER] TO DO WHAT WE CAN DURING THESE DIFFICULT TIMES.”
