Give blood in memory of Joe Merli

Thursday, September 1, 2016 - 10:21

To the Editor:

The shortage of blood donations today are real. Imagine needing blood, only to be told that there is none available.

Let's do our part in helping the American Red Cross replenish its supply.

In memory of our friend Joe Merli, I am once again hosting a blood drive at Canal Street Station, Route 20 in Duanesburg on Sept. 24 from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m.

Anyone who would like to be a donor is urged to call me at (518) 225-8731.

Ginny Stewart, member

Historic Fall Festival Committee

Editor’s note: Joe Merli, who held an annual festival at his Canal Street Station Railroad Village, died on Feb. 13, 2015 at age 65.
