TWBB IV was a resounding success, with 32 units of blood collected. That puts NAFA over 110 units for all the drives together. That's the potential for saving nearly 350 lives. Good work, all! ...

Once again this year, we’ll thank our NAFA Field Meet host community with our fourth annual NAFA Blood Drive. This year, we’re doing our best to minimize waiting time by collecting donations...

All Hail Emperor Coon Ass!

Let me please associate myself with the sentiments of the previous brutha. Looking forward to seeing you all.

Thanks for the FAQs, Robert. The thing that appeals most to me is instead of relying on line-of-sight signals that get warped and reflected by terrain and other ground-based disruptions, with this...

When will they be available and how can I get one? Or eight?

Just realized I hadn't posted results from the blood drive -- we collected 29 units (including a couple of double red cell donations) for United Blood Services of Lubbock. Winners of the special...

And Brandon -- sorry, didn't mean to leave him out! The Borquist clan ROCKS.

Thanks, Brother Rich. You and Ian are the best! I'm working with the Lubbock blood bank on an appointment book and with Brandi on keeping track of appointments. We should have a signup sheet ready...

Set down that bird and roll up your sleeve, we're at it again!


The Third Annual NAFA Meet Blood Drive is Monday, November 24, from 10:00 AM to 3:00 PM at the Meet hotel, the MCM Elegante Hotel...

Final tally on the 2013 NAFA Meet blood drive:

38 people presented to donate (31 falconers/family/friends, 7 locals);
25 were able to give blood.

Those 25 units of blood have the potential...

Hi Steve,

Got any ideas? I'd love to involve those who can't donate. There are a million reasons why potential donors are deferred, and I'd like very much to find ways for those folks to...

We now have 37 donors signed up. Thanks, everyone! We've added a fourth couch and will start an hour earlier than originally planned so we can accommodate all who are interested. The blood drive...

Thanks, Darren. Good on ya!

Hi Darren,

We'd like to nail down as many solid appointments as possible. If donors want to be reasonably assured of getting in and getting out in time to get out hawking in the afternoon, I...

Thanks, Bill. I'd love to see this catch on with other hunting groups who gather in small communities. A little friendly competition between dog trialers or gun hunters and falconers would see...

Thanks, Rich -- good on ya. We're up to 31 now! You falconers are fierce good people.

So far, 28 NAFA Members have signed up to donate blood at the Alamosa Meet. Thank you, one and all! There's still plenty of room. Drop me a note if you're interested in participating.

Good on ya, Mario. Thanks for trying last year. We'll keep our fingers crossed this time around.

THANK YOU!

It fascinates me how, every fall, NAFA Members descend on some unsuspecting rural U.S. community and turn it into “Falconry Central” for a week. Birds and dogs take over the grounds of the Meet...

Good on ya, Phil. Thanks. We'll try it again next year. Maybe with a little more advance notice, we'll collect a bunch more.

Hi All,

The Kearney Chapter of the American Red Cross collected 32 units of blood at our first ever NAFA blood drive. Thanks, everyone! It was terrifically gratifying to watch a steady stream of...

One last shout-out before the weekend. If you intend to donate blood on Monday, please make an appointment online by visiting http://www.redcrossblood.org/make-donation and entering sponsor code...

All 9:00 slots are now taken.

The Kearney Holiday Inn has sixteen employees ready to donate. SIXTEEN! That's terrific. If we falconers can equal or better that response, we'll reach our goal...

Here is the latest schedule of donation availabilities. So far, we have as many locals signed up as we do falconers. Please take a moment to make an appointment by visiting...
