From Ray Vance:
On Saturday, January 14, we’ll have a University City United Church (UCUC) San Diego Blood Bank Bloodmobile Blood Drive at the Sprouts/Starbucks UC Marketplace on Governor Drive from 8 AM to 1:30 PM. You’ll find the Bloodmobile in the center of the parking lot.
If you know you’re coming, you can sign up at www.mysdbb.org. Spontaneous Blood Donors and Blood Buddies are always welcome and I recommend that you pop in between 11 AM and 1 PM, as that’s the time with the fewest reservations.
As a reminder, we usually have a couple people get turned away each Blood Drive for Iron Deficiency. For the 11/12/16 Blood Drive, we had 10 Blood Donors “Deferred” for a variety of reasons, some of which can’t be changed easily, and some of which can, like Iron Deficiency So, keep eating your beans and greens in the days before you give blood.
And if you’re sick or on antibiotics, skip this Blood Drive. Also, keep in mind that your body will temporarily be down a pint of life-giving liquid for about a day, and depending on your body size, that could be 10% of your total blood. So, drink lots of water before and after you give blood, stay cool, and relax, as your body replenishes with new blood.
Update your calendars. The next UCUC San Diego Blood Bank Blood Drives at the Sprouts/Starbucks Marketplace will be on Sat 3/11/17, Sat 5/13/17, Sat 7/8/17, Sat 9/9/17, and Sat 11/4/17. All 8+ Weeks Apart for your Perpetual Bloodletting Pleasure.
Always give 100%, except when………..giving blood. 🙂
Thanks, enjoy, and all the best, Ray Vance
