Our favorite O-neg (John Hodges) has been ailing. He is mending and much better, but not up to his usual one-man-show blood drive at ReaderCon this weekend. He had a sudden infection that is responding well to treatment.
We have help on the sign up table Thursday evening, all day Friday and Saturday early morning. But then the schedule may have a tall John-Hodges-sized hole in it from about 10am to 3pm Saturday. ReaderCon is working on recruiting, but they have a lot of other jobs to fill. It would be a pity to see the blood drive be less successful than it might be, for lack of at-Con staffing.
We know this is last minute, but is anyone free to do a shift on the blood drive sign up table? We might be able to get people comped in for the day. We can certainly ask for that, given the last minute circumstances.
To be clear, this is NOT Arisia-style Naughty Nursing. This is street clothes sign up table staffing. Alright, maybe we can do a
little better than street clothes but please save the really spicy stuff for the winter.
John has been a stand up guy for us. Now we have a chance to help him out. Anyone free at the last minute? If so, contact the Volunteer Coordinator for ReaderCon at "Thom and Dawn Jones-Low <tjoneslo@together.net>" or "Dawn Jones-Low <dawnjl@faeriecourtfarm.com>"
Thanks.
