Help us to create a list of Blood Donors for use in case of emergency

 Let us create a list of people and their blood group and willingness to donate for the benefit of our own. If you are interested please fill the attached file and sent it back to me to colate the details and publish. Replace XXX in file name with your name while saving the sheet before sending to us.
