Venice High blood drive nears targets with student donors
Venice High School students led by the Key Club have donated 192 pints of blood by Friday noon and aim for 235 pints as the drive continues at the school. Laurel Connors says if 259 pints are reached it means half the eligible students donated. Auxiliary volunteers will honor local doctors with a separate drive starting March 30.
