We (heart) the fen:
 The good folks at Carter BloodCare returned to FenCon on Saturday, September 22nd, for a blood drive. The fen donated more than 30 units of life-saving blood and exceeded their target for the event! Thanks to all the folks that selflessly gave of themselves so that others may live.
