Many of you know Richard Stone, our longtime Band Director. He is currently traveling to MD Anderson each day for blood and platelet transfusions as he battles cancer. One thing that we can all do to help him and MD Anderson is to donate blood and platelets. Donations are down from their usual levels at this time. If you are willing and able to help, please consider making a blood and/or platelet donation.
