It is not too late….
To donate blood – and give life on National Health Care Service Day. Saturday, June 27th.
The location is the Delta Blood Bank in Angels Camp. They accept walk-ins as well as appointments. More information is here. Let’s go Calaveras!
For comparison, here’s what happened up-state at a Democratic Party-hosted blood drive Tuesday evening:
The Placer County Democratic Party and Organizing for America (formerly, Foothills for Obama) teamed up to sponsor a blood drive on Tuesday Evening, June 23rd at the Downtown Roseville Tuesday Night event.
“WOW… What a great turnout! We registered 36 and collected 31 pints of life saving blood!” reported Gayle Graves of the Blood Source Roseville office. “The charge nurse said they were so busy that she couldn’t take all walk ins.”
The blood drive, organized as the June community service event for the Placer County Democratic Party, took place in front of the Tower Theater on Vernon Street. The Blood Mobile pulled in around 3:30 and began preparations for a very busy evening. The familiar Placer County Democrats tent was set up next to the airconditioned Blood Mobile and served as a resting place for donors after they gave blood. Donors first filled out a registration form and then completed a screening questionaire
. Then it was time to get comfy on one of the four lux loungers. The BloodSource staff was efficient and very professional. A little stick, give a pint and a short time
later it’s time to head for the cookies and orange juice. All for a great cause. Anyone who is interested in continuing to donate blood or plasma to this joint effort by the PCDP and OFA should reference the account number M627. All donations will be credited toward this very valuable community cause. There are several locations in the Northern California area including Auburn and Roseville right here in Placer County.
Thank you to all who made the effort to participate!!!
