[Lynda Lynn]

All,

We still have openings for our UTC/Red Cross Blood drive tomorrow.

Why should you donate?
        Every two seconds, someone in America needs blood.
        Every unit of blood can save up to 3 lives.
Who needs blood?
        Patients having surgery.
        95% of people will need a transfusion in their lifetime.
        People whose blood won't clot on its own (Hemophilia).
        Accident Victims.
        People whose blood is very low in iron (Anemia).
        Burn Patients.
        People with sickle-cell disease.
The Washington, DC Metropolitan area has a huge demand for blood and often has to obtain blood from other states in order to keep up with demand.  If you are able to donate please follow the instructions below.  Thank you to all who are able to donate.
