Buda Bits

The Ashley Henley Memorial Blood Drive held last Saturday at St. Elizabeth’s Episcopal Church was a great success. There were 85 good-hearted people who participated and about 70 pints of whole blood were given which in turn will supply 140 units of blood products to local hospitals. Hopefully this will become an annual event and the memory of Ashley will live on through this wonderful work by blood donors.
