Event Idea Blood Drive and ....

[amosjones]

Am working on getting people together for a blood drive. Which of these 2 type of events would you be more likely to attend?

[L-A]

Rock concert after? Only if people get to eat and rest a bit

Blood drive then a pub crawl, or go karting (or both!).

Dinner. I don't know if I would have the energy for a rock concert after giving blood.

Thanks for the input so far. kinda where we sit. A rock concert would be more for to me. but more people might come to a dinner.

I don't give blood so how about a 'dinner and a concert'.

[line6man]

Dinner.
I'm not a fan of concerts.

Giving blood can SERIOUSLY lower your alcohol tolerance for the next few hours afterwards, so that would be either a really bad or good idea depending on how you look at it. I'd have to go with bad.

I used to give blood regularly, and I once asked the nurse if it was true... her reply was, "Yeah, the college kids just love us when we come around."

A dinner is probably more appropriate, since you need to eat a good meal before you give, anyways.

Easily the dinner. You should take it easy after giving blood as they routinely take about 1/6th of your supply when you donate IIRC. Rock concert would be a good idea. Maybe going to see a symphony would be a good compromise, but I don't know how many people you'd attract with that.

That's why I suggested it
