BLOOD DONATION-PLEASE GIVE
On Saturday,
November
10, United
Blood Ser-
vices will be
on site for
blood dona-
tion. Donat-
ing blood is
a safe, simple and effective way
to help others. An estimated 60
percent of the population will
need blood or blood components
during their lifetime. The average
person has 10-12 pints of blood
in their body. A blood donation
leaves plenty for you to safely con-
tinue daily activities without feel-
ing any negative side effects. The
typical person naturally replaces
blood lost through donation in 30-
60 days.
Modern medical proce-
dures including organ transplants
and open-heart surgery have
created an increased need for
blood. Many people believe that
most blood is needed after major
disasters. However, daily personal
emergencies and ongoing medical
needs of thousands of patients re-
quire a constant and ready blood
supply. It’s the blood already on
hospital shelves that saves lives.
Millions of patients—and their
families—count on generous
volunteer blood donors and our
dedicated staff to make sure life-
saving blood always is available.
Every day in the U.S., patients in
hospitals, surgical centers and
emergency treatment facilities
need approximately:
• 36,000 units of red blood more than 110 pounds, and be in
cells
• 7,000 units of platelets
• 10,000 units of plasma
One blood donation can treat
several patients with a variety of
medical conditions. Upon dona-
tion, blood is separated into its
various components. The red cells
help treat anemia. The platelets
treat leukemia and cancer. Plasma
treats blood clotting disorders and
cryoprecipiate treats hemophilia.
News
by Chuck Eier, M.S. C.S.C..
Fitness/Wellness Director
About 6.8 million volunteers give
blood in the U.S., which is nearly
26 percent fewer donors than at
the beginning of this decade. The
result is nearly 4.2 million fewer
donations each year. Together, we
can reverse this trend and help
more people realize their life-
transforming potential.
A blood donation is safe
and easy. The process lasts less
than an hour and uses sterile,
one-time-use equipment.
Requirements are simple.
You must be 16 years old, weigh
good health. Use of certain pre-
scription medications may prevent
donation.

 Resident Profile
News Bob and Debbie Lutz
We both grew up In Utah, we were high school sweet-
hearts, and was married in 1974. In the late 70’s, we were
blessed with 2 wonderful sons. Bob worked in the rock
crushing business while Debbie worked some part time
jobs, but for the most part, was a stay at home Mom.
In 1990, we decided to leave the cold winters behind, so
Bob accepted a recycle crushing job in sunny Southern
California and we relocated. After our boys were raised,
Debbie went back to college and became a nurse. Not be-
ing fond of the hustle and bustle of living in the big cities,
we purchased a home in a neighborhood 10 miles south
of Corona with nothing between us and town. We loved
the peace and tranquility, but, 20 plus years later, the
city grew out to us and was no longer peaceful. We knew
when we retired, we would need a change.
So, about 5 years ago we decided to make Arizona our
retirement home, lots of sunshine and convenient to
family and friends in So-Cal. So we took a few weekends per year to drive over and investigate all the pos-
sibilities. After our first visit to Festival 4 years ago, no matter where we looked, from Prescott to San Tan, we
kept returning here. Everyone here is so nice and friendly, and the location is great! A few miles out, nothing
between us and town, right up our alley! In our hearts we knew, this was the place for us. So in 2017, we
sold our home in Corona, and purchased in Festival and we love it!
Debbie worked in nursing for 17 years and retired in 2017. Bob still works, managing crushing and recycling
operations for a large asphalt producer in Orange County. So, we drive over here a couple of weekends a
month until he retires next year. In Bob’s spare time, he loves golf, Corvette’s, and playing guitar. Debbie
loves doing crafts and playing cards. We both love to travel, entertain, and meet new friends. We can hardly
wait to be full time residents and world travelers!
