With bone marrow drives at ODPC (Sunday), GMU (Thursday), and Chesterbrook Taiwanese Presbyterian Church (CTPC) on Friday and Sunday, this past week was pretty busy. But with the help of the GMU Vietnamese Student Association, the staff and members of CTPC and friends who volunteered at each of the drives, 79 new donors were registered this week in honor of Janet Liang. By adding CTPC to the Team Janet East Coast drives from UMCP, UMBC, GWU, EVMS and GMU, that brings the total new East Coast registrants for Janet Liang to 347 people!

A reminder that donor drives will be occurring on college campuses throughout Washington DC/VA/MD tomorrow in honor of Janet Liang from 11:00am - 3:00pm.
Notice: George Mason University - Internet registrations only
The drive at George Mason University, due to some last minute logistical complications, will be an Internet-based sign up drive only. However, we have rescheduled the in-person marrow drive portion to be on campus NEXT WEEK, from 7:00pm - 10:00pm on Thursday, 2/23/2012. The extra time provides a greater opportunity for promotion on campus as well as a presentation on drive day and increased facility space. Specifics regarding the location of this drive will be announced shortly, but it will be held in a meeting room on campus.
