Apparently, swabs dig the cheek and chicks dig the swab.

Shlok, I think part of the reason for that is because the kits from “Vinay’s drives” will get processed first, due to the time-sensitive nature of his situation. They overnight them after each drive, with his name on them, etc. He doesn’t have the luxury of regular processing times now, AFAIK.

everyone has been linking to the drives that are posted on helpvinay.org. but if i understand correctly, you reach out to more folks if you also let all know of even more opportunities to register via marrow.org.

there are additional donor drives listed there and centers, too.

I went the one at “Piano” in NYC yesterday. It was packed. And I saw this one face and I kept thinking “from where, from where” now I see that it was SM’s Vinod. Funny how that tiny pic. in a tux was recognizable. Great work fellas!

I was going to ask, is anyone outreaching to the Sikh community in Fremont, Sacramento, San Jose, and Livermore? I think it is wonderful and great that the Hindu temples in both locations are hosting drives, but I worry that folks who don’t normally frequent those areas will not realize that they can and should register

I’m happy the bay is blowing up on drives. I am a little sad that it happened after I left =/
