To most of us, summertime means sun, surf and sand. For the people responsible for ensuring that the region's blood supplies are adequate, summer presents the challenge. To help the Red Cross combat blood shortages, Asher & Company, Ltd. has hosted Red Cross Gem Blood drives throughout the past several years. Our next blood drive will be July 12 and 13. The Gem program is perfect for mid-sized companies to help their people quickly and easily give the gift of life. For information on how you can get your company involved, email us today.
