Re: ASUCD-Davis Community Blood Drive

Please consider donating blood during the upcoming blood drive on 
Monday, November 7, 2005, from 10:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m. and Tuesday 
and Wednesday, November 8 and 9, 2005, from 10:00 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. 
in Freeborn Hall.  As a special thank you everyone who participates 
in the blood drive will receive a 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.  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.
