Due to the bad weather near the beginning of December, the Irish Blood Transfusion Service (IBTS) was forced to cancel many clinics they had scheduled to receive blood donations. The Rotary Clubs of Dublin have always participated in the clinics, even going to far as to compete with each other to see which club can donate the most pints, but in light of the blood shortages efforts to increase donations were doubled. On December 16th, Dublin Central held a clinic to accept donations. Unfortunately, I had class that evening and was unable to attend. The next morning Michael and I flew home to Kentucky for Christmas, but I was able to give blood at Murray Calloway County Hospital, along with my brother Brad, and despite being in a different country, both of our pints were counted toward the Dublin Central donations.
