RSVP Online Newsletter November 2000 RSVP home page to find out more about volunteering through the Retired and Senior Volunteer Program, or how your non-profit organization can provide volunteer opportunities through RSVP, most anywhere in the United States. Being a good citizen and a good neighbor is what it s all about. The Lebanon blood drives have been chaired by two RSVP volunteers, Joyce Chapman and Gloria Henry since 1994. They arrange publicity, canteen food, and sponsors. The drives are held at the Lebanon Armory, with the support of the National Guard Mountain Infantry Company and custodian and long time blood donor, Lee Walker .
Sponsors can help in a variety of ways.
Some have their employees assist on the day of the drive itself by preparing food and serving as donor aides and canteen observers. Others contribute food to the canteen, and others commit financial support. Sponsors also recruit donors in the community by advertising. The drives are also supported by various church groups which prepare food for some canteens. In Action volunteers help put publicity posters up around town.
