It is with great pride and gratitude that I share the success of our very first joint Blood Drive between Palos Verdes Lodge No. 883 and Angels Gate Lodge No. 198.
On behalf of the organizing committee, thank you to all our brethren, volunteers, family members, friends, and blood donors who gave their time, effort, and support to make this event a tremendous success.
Our goal was 28 donors, but through the generosity and dedication of everyone involved, we exceeded expectations and achieved approximately 40 donors—a record-breaking day that will help save many lives in our community.
This accomplishment reflects the true spirit of Freemasonry: brotherly love, relief, and service to others. Every donation represents hope, compassion, and another opportunity to make a difference in someone's life.
Thank you to everyone who volunteered behind the scenes, helped with setup and cleanup, coordinated logistics, provided refreshments, promoted the event, and most importantly, rolled up their sleeves to donate blood.
Together, Palos Verdes Lodge 883 and Angels Gate Lodge 198 have demonstrated what can be achieved when brethren work hand in hand for a worthy cause.
We sincerely appreciate your support and look forward to making next year's Blood Drive even bigger and better.
