Beth Hinesley is Community Relations Coordinator of Honor Bridge For Life. She spoke about the need and value of organ and tissue donation (the compelling needs, the myths and how it actually works). With no limit on the age of the donor, in addition to 8 organs, there are some 75 other uses of tissues that can be used.

Registration as a donor can be done through the state or at a national registration service.

In North Carolina, over 3,000 people are currently waiting for organ transplants, and nationally, over 100,000 people are on the organ waiting list.

At the beginning of our after dinner program, Mrs Ann Zuhr graciously presented our Vietnam War Veterans recognition Certificates and Lapel Pins from The Daughters of the American Revolution for their service in the Vietnam War era
