Do you know about the AHEPA Bone Marrow Registry? Would you like to save a life, without costing anthing? 

Dear Family and Friends:

As you may know, I have been involved in setting up a Bone Marrow Screening
at Saint George on Sunday, June 4th.  When I read an e-mail about someone
who might die if he doesn't receive a bone marrow transplant, I thought
that this Drive is something our Ladies Philoptochos could help arrange
very easily.  It truly did not take long to plan but now that the day is fast
approaching, I am getting a little nervous.  Why?  Because I want it to be a
huge success, of course!  That is why I am writing.

Following our Divine Liturgy on Sunday, you could possibily save a life by
participating in our Bone Marrow Screening.  YOU COULD BE A SPECIAL
LIFE-GIVING PERSON!  The Screening is really very simple -- the phlebotomist
will draw a sample of blood or a mouth swab (nothing to eat or drink for one hour before a swab, not even water).  Please, I urge you, find it in your hearts and encourage your koumbari, friends, relatives and neighbors to come and be tested.  Just think of how rewarding it would be if you were the one to give a
critically-ill person the "chance-of-a-lifetime" for themselves and family and
friends.  Please read the following announcement carefully and look at the
websites for more information or give me a call.  May God bless you for your
love and consideration.


P.S.  For those family and friends who are out-of-town, your prayers for a
successful drive will be more than greatly appreciated.
