The NHS-Sponsored Blood Bank
On Tuesday, January 27, 2004, NHS sponsored a blood bank in memory of Gregory Wachtler, a young man who died on September 11, 2001. As the nation's blood banks are experiencing the largest blood shortage in quite some time, the National Honor Society thought it was an appropriate cause to support.
