Hello,
Please allow me to begin by thanking everyone who made our February
drive a success. We collected over 250 pints of blood. On behalf of
the Red Cross, thank you for saving lives.
The Red Cross will be holding a blood drive at MIT from Monday, April
14 and Wednesday, April 16 through Friday, April 18, in La Sala in the
Student Center. The drive will run from noon to 6pm on Monday,
Wednesday, and Friday and from 8am to 2pm on Thursday. Note that the
drive will be closed on Tuesday. All donors and volunteers will get a
free pizza. By giving blood, or volunteering your time at the blood
drive, you can help save lives.
Whether you see this while you're enjoying your spring break, or after
you get back (or while you're working away as usual for those staff
out there) please donate blood so someone else can enjoy their next
vacation.
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 welcome 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:
* Be sure to eat! Don't skip breakfast or lunch on the day of your
blood donation. Your body will need extra energy to donate a pint of
blood. You will also feel better after donating if you have eaten a
meal a few hours before.
* An adult body contains 10-12 pints of blood.
