On Thursday, September 1, 2011, Boy Scout Troop 1776 will hold the Sixth Annual Silvano Zobele Blood Drive at the Neshanic Reformed Church in Hillsborough from 2:00 PM to 8:00 PM. Silvano Zobele, who died of leukemia in June, 2006 is the father of Troop 1776 scouts (and HHS Seniors) John and Thomas Zobele. Since his death the troop has run this very special summer blood drive in order to help the area blood supply during a period of severe shortages. Neshanic Reformed Church is located at 715 Amwell Road at the 3-way stop. Appointments may be made by calling Judy Zobele at 908-369-5505 or emailing judy.zobele@verizon.net. Appointments can also be made on the American Red Cross website by clicking on www.redcrossblood.org/make-donation . Walk-ins are also welcome. Remember to bring some form of identification. Note that minors 16 years of age may donate with parental permission. Troop 1776 thanks members of the community for helping the troop with this important community service and for honoring Mr. Zobele’s memory by donating the gift of life!
