Hello Everyone,

I've just joined the forum and wish all blood bankers ample blood products in every blood bank.

We are always looking for new, interesting and successful ways of convincing volunteers (including our own blood bankers) to visit the Donor Center or sponsors to schedule blood drives.

During the first half of February, we are raffling a "sweet heart" package of a dozen red roses, a box of chocolates and dinner for 2 at a local upscale restaurant. During the latter half, we will be celebrating our 1st "Winter Festival" by offering special treats each day, from warm apple pie to waffles with real, warm maple syrup. We'll end our "festival" with a raffle package of a sleigh ride and lunch for 2 at a popular resort in northern New Hampshire.

We're still thinking about March activities. Is anyone doing something inovative for March?

How about March Madness with Basketball tickets or something involving the big tournments ...just an idea for guys
