Without the combined efforts of many people and businesses, we would not be able to continue this drive. Thirty-five units of blood were collected, in turn helping 105 patients.<\/p>\n<p>Thank you to the Owego Elks for hosting this event for the past 18 years. Thank you to the Red Cross employees who always do their best to make sure everyone is treated well and timely. TOPS Markets, Owego, The Ale House, Vestal, and Jim Roma\u2019s in Endicott always contribute items toward the dinner.\u00a0 Thank you to the media for always making sure the word gets out.<\/p>\n<p>Most importantly I thank the donors, who come each year donating blood, and contributing food and dollars in my parents\u2019 memory to the Tioga County Rural Ministry.<\/p>\n<p>Lives are saved and people are fed each year during the season where giving is most noticed. Thank you for the continued support and for giving the most important gift, the gift of life.<\/p>\n<p>Sincerely,<\/p>\n<p>Donald Castellucci, Jr.<\/p>\n<p>Town of Owego Supervisor<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Dear Editor, I am writing to thank everyone who helped make the 18th Annual Memorial Blood Drive in memory of my parents a success.
