Scope and content
On June 17, 1942, a Junior League member, believed to be Helen Hurley, helped to register blood donor Mrs. Gene Courtney (left). The club women were serving as receptionists at Tacoma General Hospital and St. Josephs Hospital as a blood drive took place to build up the plasma stores for US Armed Forces. Tacoma had registered 640 volunteer donors. The goal was 2,000 across the county. (T. Times 6/24/1942, pg. 10)
