Give the Gift of Life - July 13

By ANNA LEE JAMES

The American Red Cross Bloodmobile will be in Adrian on Tuesday, July 13 from 1-6 p.m. at the Adrian Optimist Building. To maintain an adequate blood supply, all blood types are needed. There is an ongoing need for blood across our country. You only need to feel good the day of donation, weigh at least 110 lbs., be at least 17 years old (16 with completed parental consent form) and have a donor card or some other sort of ID.

Mark your calendar and remember giving blood is just as important as going to the fair or a vacation; as you never know when you or a loved one will be in need. I saw that last month when my sister had a complete knee replacement and used five units of blood. Come by to donate, meet your friends and neighbors and share an hour of your afternoon. See you there!
