            On October 26th, the Chadron High School health profession's club sponsored the annual blood drive, held in the CHS auditorium. 
            The blood drive had a great turnout and exceeded the club's expectations, as told by the club's leader, Mrs. Larson. This year's blood drive had a resounding 43 participants sign up to donate, breaking their goal of 38. 
            A third year member of the club, Mallory Rhembrandt, helped with the blood drive and said that the United Blood Drive services out of Rapid City, SD, traveled to Chadron to help with the event. 
           The club is hopeful that they will put another blood drive on next year to help the community and save lives. Larson said, "To run more efficiently next year, we will try to request more help to get people through faster, because we had to turn some people away." 
          The blood drive is a great opportunity for the health profession's club to get experience with job shadowing a seeing what a job in the medical field entails. Mallory said, "The blood drive is a great thing to do for out community and great experience for students at CHS."
