We were at Anime Boston this weekend in our Star Wars stuff, grabbing attention from con-goers to recruit blood donors for the Red Cross. We were only 'on duty' for a couple of hours - the slots were all filled by noon! From our contact:

"Hi All,

Thank you so much for inviting the Red Cross to participate in Anime Boston for our second year! The blood drives were very successful. We had a huge number of first time donors and the addition of room 104 made for a much improved set up (and enabled us to bring two double red machines!)

Friday we had 94 presenting donors and collected 71 units of blood! We had 33 first time donors and we also had 5 successful double red donors.
Saturday we had 88 presenting donors and collected 67 units! There were 40 first time donors and we had 5 more double red donors.

Thank you all for your hard work to make these drives successful. I hope the rest of the convention went equally well.

I hope to have the opportunity to work with you all again at the 2012 convention. With the addition of more Red Cross staff, I am confident that we can do even better!"
