Rotary Meeting 18 June 2025

The speaker for this week is

Lena Long

Donor Relations Coordinator - New Zealand Blood Service

Her topic is "We want your blood."

Lena is a regular blood donor with New Zealand Blood Service. Her family has a history of blood donation, with her father having donated over 50 times. Lena began donating at her high school and continues to donate regularly, finding it a rewarding way to help others. She highlights that it's a relatively simple process, taking only an hour, but making a big difference in the lives of many.
