Gallon Club
Membership in the Gallon Club reflects long-standing generosity as a volunteer blood donor. Each Gallon Club member receives a Gallon Club card which can be used for identification purposes each time blood is donated to the New York Blood Center (NYBC) and Gallon Club lapel pins are also available.

I am going to make my 9th time donation tomorrow!!!! I should've done this last month.

I'm a member of the gallon club, but it's for my sperm bank. You don't wanna know what the lapel pin looks like.

I would be, but recent rule changes have made me ineligible to donate blood.

I've eaten beef in Europe within the last 20 years, so I can't donate.

I am slowly getting there... except in Texas.

NogginBoink, that would make me ineligible too, as I was born in Europe and lived there for 11 years -- all within the last 20 years. That doesn't stop me from donating. I would double-check. A few months ago I was mistakenly deferred from donating blood because a dumb nurse at the blood center thought that "Ukraine" == "U.K.". I even asked her to double-check... I don't know what she did, but she stood behind her deferral. I had to call the Red Cross, find out the true requirements, then call the blood center and bypass her to be able to donate.

if blood was supposed to come out, there would be a valve on me somewhere

i get sick/puke/passout when they take blood for a blood test, if i gave blood, i would probably die

I donated for the 16th time as of a couple weeks ago. That's 2 gallons worth. I never got any gallon club membership though.:(

I've never donated before. I hope their techs are better at finding veins than the nurses at Keesler AFB. I used to walk out with like 15 bandages on.

I think that's all over the country, not just in California.
