Re: ASUCD-Davis Community Blood Drive

Please consider donating blood during the upcoming blood drive on Tuesday and 
Wednesday, August 30 and 31, 2005, from 10:30 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. in Freeborn 
Hall.  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 Angela Tarricone at (800) 995-4420, 
ext. 11007.
