Blood Drive, Saturday, October 31 -

Submitted by Ray the Bloodman (aka Ray Vance)

GIVE ME YOUR BLOOD: On Halloween, Saturday, October 31, the UCUC San Diego Blood Bank Bloodmobile Blood Drive will be at the Sprouts/ Starbucks Marketplace on Governor Drive from 8:00 AM – 1:30 PM.

If you plan on donating, sign up in advance at www.mysdbb.org, which will help the Blood Bank know how many to expect for a smooth running day. Spontaneous Blood Donors and Blood Buddies are always welcome, and since this is Halloween, Bat and Dracula Costumes are encouraged.

According to final tallies, the 8/8/15 Blood Drive received 39 pint donations, on 4/11/15 – 41 pints, on 1/24/15 – 43 pints, and on 11/15/14 – 31 pints. Anything more than 30 for a Bloodmobile is OUTSTANDING, so THANK YOU UC!

Also, be sure to eat your beans and greens before you give blood, so you pass the Iron Test. We’ve done really well in that area, too. And what did the Snowman ask the other Snowman?…Do you smell carrots?

Thanks, and all the best, Ray the Bloodman (aka Ray Vance)
