We collected more than 250 usable pints of blood. On behalf of the Red Cross, thank you for saving lives. The Red Cross will be holding a blood drive at MIT from Monday, 2/11 through Thursday, 2/14 in La Sala on the second floor of the Student Center (W20). The drive will run from 12 noon until 6 PM each day. By giving blood or by volunteering your time at the blood drive, you can help save lives. As hard as it may be to believe after the amazing donor response last September, blood levels for at least some types of blood have already dropped down to pre September 11th levels. Please remember that blood is needed all year round, and that it is as important that you donate blood now as it was in September. Also please note that last fall new restrictions were implemented on potential donors who've spent time in Europe. Please see the top of our web page at http://web.mit.edu/blood-drive/www/ for more details. The Red Cross relies on appointments to decide how many staff to provide on a given day. Making appointments will decrease your wait, and make the drive run faster as a whole (even if you can only tell us what day you want to donate, and not what time during the day.) To make an appointment, fill out the form at: http://web.mit.edu/blood-drive/www/ If you cannot make an appointment please feel free to come to the drive and donate anyway. We are hoping to have enough MIT people helping out during this drive to get people registered quickly and take some of the pressure off of the Red Cross workers. Even if you can't donate blood, you're welcome to donate some of your time to the drive. Some of the services that volunteers may perform are registering donors, staffing the canteen, and providing moral support to the donors. All these efforts are important to the drive's success. To volunteer, send e-mail to + The MIT Blood Drive Coordinators NB: This mail was sent to the following places: "Red Cross Club" , "Blood Drive Donors" , "Blood Drive Volunteers" , "Blood Drive Contacts" , "Blood Drive Coordinators" , "Athena Message Board" , "MIT Bulletin Board Newsgroup" , "ESG Volunteer Opportunities" If you wish to be added or removed from any of the blood drive lists, please send an email request to only. ------- End of forwarded message ------- ------- Kendra Claire MacDonagh Stensven 69 Chestnut Street Cambridge, MA 02139 617.308.9085 kcstensven@uwalumni.com On Wisconsin!
