On March 26, 2024, Local 18 (Wisconsin) members, family and friends attended the local’s eighth annual blood drive/SMART Army event at the union hall. Local 18 provided fresh grilled brats — cooked by retiree and SMART Army award-winner Kevin Turner — and refreshments to all who donated or attempted to donate. Twenty-three donations were made that day, potentially helping 53 people in need.
“We can’t say enough about how impressed we are by the support by our neighbors, members, family and friends to come out to donate to Local 18’s blood drive under the direction of the Versiti Blood Center,” said Local 18 Business Representative Steuart Wilson.
