     “Red Cross club attends the blood drive, club day, and other club-oriented activities,” Club leader Erin Kowalik said.

    The club does a bunch of different things and participates in a lot of activities.

  “I work with various adult agencies– We Are Blood, Red Cross, and Bowie bookkeeping in order to make sure that the activities the club is involved in have the necessary approvals to move forward,” Kowalik said
