Don't forget to donate blood

By ANNA LEE JAMES

The American Red Cross Bloodmobile will be in Adrian on Tuesday, July 14 from 1- 6 p.m. at the Adrian Optimist Building. All types of blood are needed and greatly appreciated by those in need. The need is great. I know everyone is busy this time of year and you may feel it won’t be missed. However, a person in need will miss that unit of blood.
