Three Questions for...Julie Simonin

How did you first get connected with Beautiful Day?
I started doing Beautiful Day about four years ago when Vicki Field asked me to be in charge of the Blood Drive. I felt honored and challenged with this project. Challenged because I'd never given blood before and I pass out when I get shots. I wasn't sure this was right for me, but I knew God would help me along the way. I needed to try something different and this was definitely a stretch for me.

Talk about what it's like to help with such a "stretch."
Blood Drive has been awesome. The people from Blood Bank of the Redwoods are awesome to work with.

A blood drive has to have donors, obviously, but what are your needs in terms of volunteers?
We need people who like to bake and/or cook, as well as volunteers who don't mind talking to donors when they are recovering in the cantina.

Julie Simonin is Co-Chair of the Beautiful Day "Life Support" Blood Drive and a ten-year participant in the Campbell Relay for Life. A devoted wife and mother, she spends at least part of her free time at Chicks N Flicks with other movie lovin' women.
