IJA ADOPTS BLOOD DRIVE PROGRAM

At the annual business meeting during the Las Vegas convention, a motion was approved whereby the organization will sponsor and encourage blood giving through local blood banks. Coordinator Myron Wilcox hopes to gain public relations advantage for the IJA through this humanitarian action, as well as help blood banks meet an increasing need for blood. Himself a 10-gallon giver, he would like to hear from other members who are blood donors. Please tell him how much you have given, and include the name and address of your local blood bank. He'd like IJA jugglers to put in a plug for blood donation in their shows, and hopes to set up a blood drawing at next year's convention. Write Myron Wilcox, Porterville, CA.
