Re: ASUCD-Davis Community Blood Drive
 
Please consider donating blood during the upcoming blood drive on Tuesday and Wednesday, 
April 12 and 13, 2005, from 10:00 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. in Freeborn Hall.  As a special 
thank you, everyone who donates will receive a free t-shirt.
 
BloodSource is a group of medical professionals who, with the precious gift of blood 
from donors, serve every hospital in the area and help advance the science of blood-
related medicine worldwide.  BloodSource must collect an average of 700 units of blood 
a day. Half the blood supply comes from donors who visit donor centers and half comes 
from donors who sign up for mobile blood drives sponsored by their local community, 
place of worship or employer.  BloodSource values the faculty and staff who faithfully 
donate blood at the ASUCD blood drives.  Departmental release time is appropriate for 
staff wishing to donate.  To help alleviate waiting times, there will be a special 
section for faculty and staff.
 
To donate blood, you must be at least 17 years old (16 with parental consent), weigh 
110 pounds or more, 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 ASUCD-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 Melissa Raski, ASUCD Blood Drive Director, at 
(530) 756-4920.
