I brought this up at the February meeting, but it keeps slipping my mind until donation day.
I donate platelets on a regular basis at Bonfils, and every time they ask me if I am donating for a group. I would like to, and I would like that group be the MRA. All this does is get some recognition for the group on Bonfils quarterly and annual lists - there is no benefit come time when you might need blood products.
Is anybody else interested in doing this, and if so what would you like the group to be called? This is just for folks who go to a permanent Bonfils location - if you donate at a mobile Bonfils drive, the group is predefined by the organization that has invited Bonfils.
My suggestion would be: Motorcycle Roadracing Association (MRA)
but I am open to others, and there may be legal requirements as to how we promote ourselves. (Board members ?)
I have made contact with Bonfils, and would be happy to see this through.
