248 donors came to the five blood collections we organized in La Couronne and Vœuil-et-Giget last year and we welcomed seventeen new ones, “said Marie-Claude Barit, president of the Blood Donors Association, during the general assembly. For this post-covid year, the association had opted for snacks provided by the French Blood Establishment, “except that of January where we made ourselves a soup and we also plan small supplements for each harvest”, she clarified. Encouraging for the small team of volunteers who have grown with the arrival of Didier and Marie-Christine Joumier, Claudine Jamot and Gaëlle Archambaud in their ranks. The number of donors grew by 18% compared to 2020. Funded for 300 euros by the municipality of La Couronne, the Amicale closed the year with a deficit of 462 euros. “Thanks in large part to the creation of a new banner for the communication of Voeuil-et-Giget with transplantation for each of the collections”, justified the treasurer, Cyrille Coton. With over 3,000 euros available, the association still has enough to look to the future with serenity. “2022 will be a continuation” assured Marie-Claude Barit. From four this year, collections will increase to five next year in the two municipalities. The office of the association: Marie-Claude Barit, president; Cyrille Cotton, treasurer and Gisèle Nompex, secretary.
