RE: Cal Aggie-Davis Fall Blood Drive

Thanks to the thousands of Americans who donated blood, there was not a
blood supply crisis when the tragedies in New York City and Washington,
D.C., occurred.  However, these recent tragedies have proven that now, more
than ever, the country's blood supply is critical.  
 
Please consider donating blood during the upcoming blood drive on Monday
and Tuesday, October 22 and 23, 2001, from 9:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. in
Freeborn Hall.  All blood types are needed.  
 
Departmental release time is appropriate for staff wishing to donate.  To
help alleviate waiting times, there will be a faculty and staff section on
the stage in Freeborn Hall.  Please check-in at the main lobby in Freeborn
Hall and you will be directed to the stage area.
 
To donate blood, you must be at least 17 years old (16 with parental
consent), weigh 110 pounds or more (a smaller unit may be collected if you
weigh less), and be in generally good health.  We ask that you do not
donate blood if you have had cold or flu symptoms within the 48 hours prior
to donating.  Please eat and drink plenty of fluids before donating blood
and bring picture identification for registration purposes.
 
All staff, faculty, students, and alumni are members of the Cal Aggie-Davis
Community blood program, which provides members and their families with 100
percent coverage for blood and blood costs.
 
Thank you for your continued support in promoting and participating in this
event and for your ongoing concern about healthcare in our community.  
 
For further information, please call Jamie Lynch at (530) 759-8553.
