[Sca-cooks] Pennsic Blood Drive

[Kirsten Houseknecht]

assuming i make it to pennsic, i will cheerfully help with the food!
contact me about it, or i will forget.

as to donating, i cannot donate if the weather is bad (and it usually is at
Pennisc) as i am prone to both heat exhaustion and hypothermia, both of
which are aggravated by donating/loss of blood. but if we get a few days of
mild/moderate weather, i will cheerfully donate as well.
