AXAA BLOOD DONATION AND DINNER TRIP: Tuesday, July 7, 1998
Alumni, actives, pledges, and friends welcome.
It's time once again for the first Tuesday of Every Odd Month Blood Donation
and Dinner Trip. There is a new donor site in Lexington, The Countryside
Bible Chapter, just a mile and a half or so from the old site in Burlington.
Come next tuesday to bleed, for dinner, or to bleed and eat dinner.
The donor center is open from 2 pm to 8 pm on Tuesdays. If you are planning
on giving blood, please arrive by **6:45 pm** so we can eat by a not too
unreasonable hour. There should be appointment slots reserved for MIT-APO
between 6 and 6:30 (if they remember, I set us up through July back in
March). The Red Cross has a new person handling scheduling so maybe things
were set up correctly this time.
For a change, I can be there. One person we usually don't get since the
commute is a little long will be there (Keshlam). What about the rest of
you? I will coordinate rides for those of you without cars. Let me know if
you can give rides or need a ride. Even if you are planning your own
transportation and can't take passengers, please RSVP so I know how many
people to expect. Options for RSVPing are calling me at home(617-254-0057),
calling me at work(617-495-0573) or sending me email at: ccrazy@world.std.com.
A heads up for the future: The Red Cross will be opening a new donor Center
in Burlington (off Winn St.) in September. They current center in Lexington
may also remain open. When I spoke to someone a few weeks ago, they weren't
sure what the schedules would be at the two sites, but they may both be open
Tues. Evenings. If that turns out to be the case, does anyone have any
preference about where we go?
Y.I.S.
