Re: ASUCD-Davis Community Blood Drive

Please consider donating blood during the upcoming blood drive on 
Tuesday and Wednesday, June 28 and 29, 2005, from 10:00 a.m. to 
4:30 p.m. in the ARC Ballroom.  As a special thank you, everyone 
who participates in the blood drive will receive a coupon for free 
ice cream at any participating Northern California Baskin-Robbins 
store.

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.  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.
