Re: ASUCD-Davis Community Blood Drive

Please consider donating blood during the upcoming blood drive on Tuesday 
and Wednesday, April 25 and 26, 2006, from 10:30 a.m. to 5:00 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 of 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.
