The Gift of Life
As your District Blood Chairman, I would like to express my gratitude to the Brethen of Waterloo District for your continuing support for Blood Donations. Currently we are at 61 donations and well on our way to this year’s target of 201 blood donations through the Partners For Life (PFL) program. The need for blood is a constant one and becomes more so as we head into the holiday season. You may not be able to assist directly by rolling up your sleeve, but by spreadin the word about our upcoming District clinics to your family, friends, neighbours and co-workers you can still play a lifesaving role. Our next Clinic is this Saturday December 3rd from 9-1 at Heritage College & Seminary on Holiday Inn Drive in Cambridge and every donation has the potential to save 3 lives. Call 1-888-236-6283 to book your time, let’s fill the chairs with Masons, their family and friends and together we can give the gift of life. From me and my family please accept our best wishes for a safe and happy Holiday Season!

Congratulations All Around
If you look to your right you can see our blood counter has been reset to zero. This reflects an end, a beginning and congratulations all around.
Congratulations to our past DDGM R.W.Bro.Richard Kaufman for a successful year with many District highlights including a final blood donor total of 152 units of blood given under the Partners For Life (PFL) program.
Calling All Blood Donors
I have just been informed by Canadian Blood Services that blood inventory and donations are critically low at this time. Please take some time to make a donation and encourage your family and friends to make a special effort to donate at one of these two clinics, one of which is happening tonight in Ayr and the other will be August 6th at Heritage College & Seminary in Cambridge, 300 metres from Cambridge Masonic Centre at 175 Holiday Inn Drive.
Thank you for responding!
Canadian Blood Services
Our Waterloo District clinic was this past Saturday and in the final days leading up to the clinic we had 35 spots to fill. I am proud to report that the Canadian Blood Services (CBS) clinic summary reveals that not only did we fill those 35 spots, we actually surpassed the clinic goal of 90 units of blood with a total donation of 95 units. On behalf of the CBS, I would like to express my gratitude to those that spread the word, donated or volunteered in order to make this last clinic a huge success.
Calling All Blood Donors
Brethren All – Just heard from Canadian Blood Services, we now have 35 openings for tomorrow’s clinic at Heritage College 175 Holiday Inn Drive Cambridge.
Call 1-888-2DONATE (1-888-236-6283) to book an appointment time between 9am and 1pm and I and my crew look forward to looking after you personally this Saturday. I will also be looking after registering you for Partners For Life on-site if you have not had the time to do this yourself.
Upcoming Blood Donor Clinic
Just a friendly reminder that our next District Blood Clinic will be this Saturday February 5th at Heritage College and Seminary, 175 Holiday Inn Drive (just around the corner from Cambridge Masonic Centre) from 9am to 1pm. Please call 1-888-2DONATE (1-888-236-6283) to book your appointment time. Don’t forget to click on the CBS blood icon to your right to register for Partners For Life if you have not done so already. As a registered PFL member each donation you, your family member or a friend makes, automatically gets counted as a Masonic donation and helps us reach our commitment to Canadian Blood Services.
