Blood Donor? West Side Church has been asked to host a neighborhood blood drive and we said yes. Blood donations are always desperately needed, easy to do, cost no money, and make you feel like a hero. There are snacks at the end too. Puget Sound Blood Center will come to our church and set up in Howell Auditorium. What could be easier? We need the commitment of at least 35 donors to confirm the date of Saturday, November 14. Yes, it may seem like a long way off but to hold the date we need the commitment now. Please mark your attendance card with a “yes I can!” or add your name to the sign-up sheet at the front hall. We understand that plans can change, but need a preliminary count for the Blood Center. For more information, call Barbara Greenlee at 932-9204. For eligibility information, please call 1-800-DONATE-1, ext. 2543.
