More than 450 passengers
boarded at Bethlehem’s

time to celebrate Woodstock,
and the era of peace, love,
music and harmony.
Once aboard, an evening
Cruise committee members Heather Kowatch and
Mary Diehl channeled their inner-hippie!
of great food, fun and entertainment was enjoyed by all,
as passengers were treated to specially prepared Cruise delicacies, actionpacked casino games and an exciting live auction, in addition to a silent
auction and raffle. Entertainment was provided courtesy of the Truth & Soul
band, and the Juli Kell Dance Studio.
Honorary captain of the 2015 Cruise was Catherine Jaindl-Leuthe of Jaindl
Farms, LLC. Guest emcees for the evening were Cat Country’s Becca Lynn
and Sam Malone, and the evening’s Live Auction was conducted by Houser
Auctioneers. In addition to the tireless efforts of this year’s Cruise committee,
dozens of volunteers supported the event serving in a variety of roles.

MKBC Announces 2015 Scholarship Recipients
In September 2014, Miller-Keystone Blood Center announced changes to its Blood
Donor Recruitment Scholarship program. By simply hosting one or more blood drives
with MKBC and achieving certain benchmarks, a student from every high school in
the community is guaranteed a scholarship award!
Scott Appnel, Manager of Mobile Recruitment, explains that scholarships are now awarded per school,
based on the results of the individual schools’ blood drives during the school year.
“A census number for each school will be established based on the approximate number of eligible student donors,” Appnel says. “Scholarships will be awarded based on the unit level achieved:
schools collecting 30% of their census will receive a $300 scholarship award, those collecting 40%
of their census will receive a $400 scholarship award, and those achieving 50% or more of their
census will receive a $500 scholarship award.”
Schools must have collected a minimum of 50 units for the year to be eligible for a scholarships
award, and must collect a minimum of 75 units for the year to qualify for the $500 award.
This year, 84 high schools ran blood drives. 33 schools qualified for scholarship awards, and 27
applications were received. Recipients of scholarship awards for the 2014-15 school year include:

ABOUT:
I n 1946, DeLight Breidegam, Jr., a young Air
Force veteran, started a battery business
with his father, DeLight Breidegam, Sr. The
location of their business was a small, oneroom creamery in the village of Bowers, PA.
Wartime made for scarce battery materials, but
there was big demand for rebuilt batteries so
returning GIs could get their vehicles running
again. DeLight and his father filled that need
by collecting old batteries and rebuilding
them to new.
F rom the beginning, the Breidegam’s knew if
their business was to be successful, customers
and employees would have to be the top
priority, and opportunities for improvement
could never be overlooked. These founding
principles make East Penn what it is today.
I n six decades, East Penn has grown from a
one-room shop with a product line of five
automotive batteries to one of the world’s
leading battery manufacturers with over
8,000 employees, 450 product designs, and
hundreds of awards for manufacturing and
environmental excellence. ●

Blood Center Launches 2nd
Annual “Boots vs Badges vs
Bandages” Heroes Blood
Drive Challenge
MKBC’s second annual “Boots vs Badges vs Bandages” Heroes Blood Drive competition between
firefighters, law enforcement and emergency medical service personnel kicked off on Memorial Day,
May 25, and runs through Labor Day, September 7.
“Blood donations traditionally decline in the
summer months, due to high school breaks and
family vacations,” said Sean Tinney, Director of
Marketing and Business Development. “However,
we still need to collect approximately 450 units
per day, 365 days per year, to meet the transfusion needs of our regional hospitals. The Boots vs
Badges vs Bandages competition is a great way for
the Blood Center to partner with our local heroes,
and to thank them for the leadership they demonstrate every day in our community,”
The public is invited to support the friendly
competition by donating in honor of their favorite
hero. Each organization has partnered with the
blood center to recruit donors and raise awareness
on the importance of blood donation. Individuals
can donate at any MKBC Donor Center or Community Blood Drive between May 25 and September 7,
and have their donation go towards their favorite
first responder. When individuals arrive for their
donation they can either state the group or sponsor code of the heroes they would most like to
support: Fire (Boots) Sponsor Code 7417 – Police
(Badges) Sponsor Code 7416 – EMS (Bandages)
Sponsor Code 7418.
