They were quite pleased with the turnout last time, and they would like to meet a goal of at least 30 units of blood this time. PLEASE save some time on April 24 after morning services (7:45, 9:00 or 11:15) to donate blood and contribute to the community. Donation guidelines will appear in the April issue of the Pohick Post.

Also, a LIFELINE SCREENING is scheduled to come to Pohick on April 13. After the 9:00 am service on March 6, there will be an information session to answer all questions about this innovative procedure.  

A blood pressure screening is scheduled for March 6 during the Coffee Hour.
