BIRTHDAY BLOOD DRIVE

Gwen Strunk reacts as The Shoreliners a cappella men's quartet performs as she donates blood at a party celebrating her 90th birthday on Friday at Redeemer Lutheran Church of Interlochen. Strunk's family hosted family and friends for a "Bring a Pint, Not a Present" - themed party and blood donation event . 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."
