00:00So here we are for, and we have now 22,000 units that have been donated, and this is a
00:06milestone for us in our 21st blood drive.
00:11And I was talking on the air a little bit earlier about how, and Steve brought up the point that
00:16summertime is difficult for the Red Cross as far as blood donations go,
00:19but there are extenuating circumstances this year with all the activities that are going on in our area, right?
00:25There really is. And, you know, this is, you know how Keenan's is kind of like your official kickoff to
00:31summer?
00:31Right.
00:32This blood drive is the official kickoff to summer for us.
00:34Okay.
00:35And it really comes from all of you. 21 years strong, you know, 22,000 donations.
00:39I think the gentleman that was a 22,000 donation is still here.
00:43Still here, yes.
00:44Still here. I think, though, that last year we probably would have gotten to 22,000 if Casey had stepped
00:48up and donated.
00:49It's my fault. It is my fault. Yep. I was the one.
00:52You were the one.
00:53I was the one who didn't donate last year.
00:54Yep. Called out.
00:57I know. Oh, man.
00:58That's all right.
00:58I shouldn't have said anything.
00:59I know. We are there now.
01:00But, yes, we are certainly in a spot where donations have, people scheduling donations has decreased by about 20%.
