RE: ASUCD-Davis Community Blood Drive

Please consider donating blood during the upcoming blood drive on Wednesday 
and Thursday, June 27 and 28, 2007, from 10:30 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. on the Quad.  
As a special thank you, everyone who donates will receive a coupon for a 
free pint of Baskin-Robbins Ice Cream.

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 Liz Millard at Blood Source at 
(916)376-6011 or via email at liz.millard@bloodsource.org.
