BIRTHDAY BLOOD DRIVE
A sign with candy sits among the decorations as Gwen Strunk celebrated her 90th birthday on Friday by hosting family and friends for a "Bring a Pint, Not a Present" - themed party and blood donation event at Redeemer Lutheran Church of Interlochen. Attendees were encouraged to donate blood, with phlebotomists from Versiti Blood Centers of Michigan on hand. "She has always tried to put a little extra into her events," said her son David Prong of Grand Rapids. Strunk said she has been donating her B negative blood most of her life. "I just think it is something you have got and can give away," Strunk said of her blood. "I think you have got to remember other people."
