There are SO many versions of this script -

Writers draft
Pink Changes 2/14/96
Blue Changes 2/18/96
Green Changes 2/18/96
Yellow Changes 2/19/96
(I'm betting there were versions for 2/20/96 and possibly 2/21/96 - does
anyone remember which nights we attended Deb's play?, because they were
doing the final shooting on Last Night when we went to visit the set
building and took pictures in front of the sign)
Post Production (As Produced) Version

Not to mention the 'Goldenplaid' version by Bedard and LaLonde, which they
allow the GWDFC to reproduce and sell for charity . . . .

We tried this in 1996.  It didn't work well because every region has it's
own blood donation tracking system and it's own autonomy.  In addition . .
. with the 10,000 plus people we had on the list at the time, only a handle
gave blood or were eligible to give blood.

Please keep in mind that there is nothing as detrimental as making a noise,
having it show up in print, and then being unable to carry through because
the numbers aren't there.

That having been said, I encourage EVERYONE who can physically do it to
give blood.  I used to do it frequently and keep trying, although certain
medical reasons preclude them from taking it at the moment.  But I hope one
day to give blood again.  Give blood, note the time, day and place, the
division of the RC to blood donation element to which you're giving, and
then send in the info to someone.

Once you have a sufficient number of donations over a period of time, THEN
you can do something with it.

And whether or not that happens, give blood anyway.  One of the problems so
many of us had with Last Knight was that it appeared to preclude the ideas
that hope counts for something, particularly if good comes from it.  That
was always one of the tenants to SOS-FK - every dime raised for promotional
funds was matched by a dime raised for charity.  Even if we didn't
immediately succeed in our goal, we made a difference.

Regards

Oh.  I can see that--I know *nothing* about the mechanics of coordinating
such an effort.  It was just a thought...
