Organ Donation

Hey Rotarians, are you about to renew your Oregon driver’s license at the DMV?   Do your part and become an organ donor.  Just add it to your application.  Or you can add it to your existing Oregon license by visiting organdonor.gov .

The need for organ donation is great.  Currently, 103,412 men, women and children are on the National transplant wait list.  Seventeen people die each day waiting for an organ transplant.  Every ten minutes another person is added to the transplant list.

Help is needed.  Please consider adding your name to the donor list.
