MAKE SURE YOU RSVP IF YOU ARE COMING! I can't give this month, but I will
be there for dinner -- assuming there are people to have dinner with.
The Red Cross has finally updated their screening procedures to match the
rules for HIV/AIDS risk screening that the FDA put in place over a year
ago. Also, there have been changes related to travel deferrals and
permanent deferrals over time. If you haven't checked the rules recently,
you should. See the donor eligibility page for details:

Who: Hopefully, you. Alumni, actives, pledges family and friends welcome.
What: Blood donation followed by Dinner Trip
When: Tuesday, March 21, 2017
Where: American Legion Hall, 162 Winn Street, Burlington, MA
Why: Because it saves lives.
How:
To Make an appointment to donate call 1-800-GIVE-LIFE or go on line at
http://www.redcrossblood.org/ If all of the appointment slots are
full, you can still show up and donate as a walk in.
Please join us for dinner even if you can't donate.
If you are donating, please arrive by 6:30pm. The blood mobile is open
from 1:30pm - 7:00 pm.
If you are joining us only for dinner, please arrive by 7pm.
Please RSVP so I know who to expect. If you are interested in going
and don't have a car, I'll try to arrange car pools.
