Date: Sun, 12 Feb 2017 20:49:00 -0500 From: Blood Drive Coordinators <blood-drive-coordinators@mit.edu> To: Blood Drive Announcements <blood-drive-request@mit.edu> NOTE: Due to MIT being closed the blood drive will NOT run on Monday, 2/13. Please do not attempt to donate at MIT on Monday. As a result, the existing blood shortage will be even worse. Please make an appointment (http://web.mit.edu/blood-drive/www/) to donate later in the week. In related news, this is a reminder that there will be a blood drive at MIT Tuesday through Friday of this week.

There will be a blood drive at MIT from Monday 2/13 through Friday 2/17, in La Sala in the Student Center. The drive will run from 1pm to 6pm every day except Tuesday, when it will run from 8am to 1pm. All presenting donors at our February drive will be eligible to receive a $5 Amazon.com Gift Card claim code by email. Please use http://web.mit.edu/blood-drive/www/ to make an appointment for faster service. The Red Cross is reporting an emergency blood shortage, and donors of all types are needed. Please make an appointment to donate, and encourage your co-workers, neighbors, and friends to donate. Or, encourage your enemies to donate just to watch them bleed. :-) The Red Cross is offering an opportunity to complete the reading and health questionnaire from the comfort of your home or office, which is supposed to save you around 15 minutes at the drive itself. To do this, visit http://www.redcrossblood.org/rapidpass, but be aware of several caveats: 1) this *must* be done the same day as your donation 2) It cannot be done from a phone, a desktop/laptop is required 3) You will need to be able to show a copy of your form (either emailed to yourself, or printed) at the drive 4) MIT's drives are located in zip code 02139 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 can always use more volunteers to help out during the drive to get people registered quickly and take some of the pressure off the Red Cross workers. Even if you can't donate blood, you're encouraged 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. No previous experience is necessary to volunteer. All these efforts are important to the drive's success. To volunteer, send e-mail to blood-drive-coordinators@mit.edu, and someone will reply to you shortly before the drive starts. Blood Donation Factoids: * No strenuous exercise before or after donating. If you exercise before donating, be sure to drink even more fluids to replace what you lost during your work out. * Prostate cancer surgery may require two - four units of red blood cells. If you want to forward this message, feel free as long as you are sending it to a friend, or to a list for which it is appropriate. In other words, feel free to forward, but please don't spam people on our behalf. If anyone wants to get on our mailing list they can check the appropriate box when making an appointment, or fill out the form at http://web.mit.edu/blood-drive/www/email.html + The MIT Blood Drive Coordinators If you wish to be added or removed from any of the blood drive lists, please send an email request to blood-drive-request@mit.edu only. ------- End of Forwarded Message -------- List subscription Info; Please include in unsubscribe requests ------- blood-drive: blood-drive-donors: blood-drive-donors-strings: apo-news-mtg@charon
