Can you help TOTEM put your dues to good
use?

Would you be interested in receiving
the TOTEM Newsletter at your home e-mail rather than a paper copy
by U.S. Mail? Sending the newsletter
electronically rather than through the U.S. Mail could result in a
significant savings in both cost and paper. If interested,
please send us your e-mail address.
TOTEM keeps member personal information confidential and that
would include your e-mail address. |

ASD Blood Drives

TOTEM is a proud sponsor of the ASD
Education Center blood drives. The Education Center hosts four
blood drives per year for employees. The Blood Bank of Alaska
parks its LIFEMobile bus in the parking lot for employee’s
convenience. TOTEM understands the importance of blood donation
and provides incentives for ASD employees to give blood. TOTEM
raffles a $25 gift card for each drive. All donors are entered
into a pot and one winner is drawn for each drive. Around the
holidays, TOTEM raffles an additional prize, last year was a
beautiful holiday centerpiece.
“We’ve seen a
steady increase in participation over the last few years,” said
ASD blood drive coordinator, Heather Roach. “We are very thankful
for TOTEM’s support.”
ASD Blood Drives currently scheduled: Thursday, September 6;
Friday, December 7 and Friday, February 22.
If you have
questions about ASD blood drives, contact Heather Roach at
742-4151.
