Dear Bonita,

Having recently given blood at the Parramatta (Sydney) branch of the Red Cross Blood Service, I was asked by my Editor-In Chief to write an article for the Internet Magazine of Polish Affairs, Puls Polonii.

I have done so, and warmly invite yourself, and others who may be interested, to read the article.

(English Version)
A Visit to the Vampire, 14th Dec. 2006
(Polish Version)
Przygoda u wampira, 13th Dec. 2006

Hopefully, members of the Polish community in Australia, and readers of the magazine, will also respond and decide to donate blood.

Yours Sincerely,
Lukasz Swiatek
Editor, Puls Polonii.
