Blood Drive, Co-Sponsored by the Metro New York North Chapter of the American Red Cross and Perrot Library
The Metro New York North Chapter of the American Red Cross and the Perrot Memorial Library will co-sponsor a Blood Drive on Monday, October 7, 2024, from 1:30-6:30 pm at Christ Church Greenwich, Large Hall, 254 E.

About 328 million people currently live in the United States. Each year, approximately 6.8 million people in the United States donate blood. Annually, this adds up to about 13.6 million units of whole blood collected for donation in our country. The Red Cross provides about 40% of our nation’s blood and blood cell components to donors. Your blood donations are used for patients in need of surgery, cancer treatment and transfusions for blood loss from traumatic injuries. Donations made at this blood drive will be used locally to help those in need. Want to know more about the blood supply in the United States?

Purls of Wisdom: An Evening Knitting Class
Calling knitters experienced and new to the craft! Join us on the second Tuesday of each month for our evening knitting class, “Purls of Wisdom,” starting on Tuesday, October 8, at 6 pm in our Rand Room, Waid Building, Perrot Memorial Library.
Knitting is better when we do it together! Knitting in a group can increase your confidence, creativity, and willingness to take risks. Bring your own pattern and supplies and join our friendly group, facilitated by experienced knitter, Miriam Kliewe, who can offer project support and troubleshooting.
Miriam has been knitting for more than 30 years and has a lifetime of mistakes under her belt. She has guided children, teens, and adults on their knitting adventures and will cheerfully unravel any project to get to that one mistake.
Registration is required. Class is limited to the first 12 registrants. Please register here.
