Blood drive

It's spring, a time for re-birth and re-growth. The American Red Cross would like to urge you to reach out and help someone else see another spring day, another birthday, another anniversary. For someone in need, that can be accomplished just by donating blood.

The statistics don't change with the seasons. Every two seconds, someone in the United States needs blood. Yet only 5 percent of those who can give blood actually do. So, here's an idea: Celebrate this new spring, celebrate life by giving the "gift of life." Someone will be very glad you did.

Our third blood drive this year will be May 5 at AMVETS Post 80 from 12:30 to 6:30 p.m. Contact me at 556-3338 for further information. Please donate a pint of blood in honor or memory of your mother.
