"Business After Hours -- Founders Wine Cellar -- A Great Sucess!
The Business After Hours held at Founders Wine Cellar on December 1, 2009 was a great success! Approximately 60 guests attended and enjoyed networking with other local businesses. We would like to thank Founders Wine Cellar for hosting this wonderful event.

This change was made to better communicate their singular focus on blood and blood related services for Michigan hospitals and residents. The new name also unites their blood donation centers in four regions of the state under a single name and brand.
Michigan Blood is a nonprofit community service organization. They are the provider of choice for blood and blood related services to Lakeland Healthcare. Michigan Blood conducts more than 350 mobile blood drives each year out of the St. Joseph site. The drives are sponsored as a community services by businesses, schools and churches, as well as youth, civic and municipal groups.
The name is meant to emphasize the fact that the blood collected by Michigan Blood stays in the state to meet the needs of Michigan’s hometown hospitals first. It also underscores the fact that the organization is based in Michigan and has a local workforce of 32 employees and over 50 volunteers working out of their St. Joseph site. At the same time it’s introducing a new name, Michigan Blood is also introducing a new logo and brand promise: “MI Blood Saves Lives.” It reflects the organizations Michigan first philosophy and is intended to remind state residents of the importance of donating blood.
