RE: ASUCD-Davis Community Blood Drive

Please consider donating blood during the upcoming blood drive on Tuesday 
and Wednesday, April 24 and April 25, 2007, from 10:00 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 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 Blood Source at (916) 
376-6007 or via email at angela.tarricone@bloodsource.org.
