We still have some open slots for Tuesday and Wednesday, especially in
the mid-afternoon. It's too late to make an appointment for Tuesday but
you can still try walking in, or making an appointment for Wednesday.
Please help make sure there's enough blood to go around.
Thanks!

I wanted to remind everyone that we have a blood drive at MIT Monday -
Wednesday of next week. The Red Cross notes that donations in June were
down about 10% resulting about 50,000 fewer donations. As a result, Red
Cross officials have issued an emergency request for blood and platelet
donations. All blood types are needed, but especially 0-, A-, and B-.
Please visit http://web.mit.edu/blood-drive/www/ to make an appointment
to donate at next week's drive. Thank You.

Hello,
Please allow me to begin by thanking everyone who took the time to
donate or volunteer at our May drive. We collected over 200 units of
blood despite having the drive during the last week of classes.. On
behalf of the Red Cross, thank you for saving lives.
The Red Cross will be holding a blood drive at MIT from Monday 7/15

Tuesday. All donors at our July drive will receive a $2.50 coupon for
Turkey Hill Ice Cream..
During the months of June, July and August, on average, about two fewer
donors give blood at each Red Cross blood drive than what hospital
patients need. This could add up to more than 100,000 fewer donations
during the summer. All blood types are needed, but especially types O
negative, A negative and B negative. Please help MIT reverse this trend
by donating at our July drive.
If you have recently graduated (Congratulations) and want to remain on
our mailing list but with a new address, you have subscribe it when
making your appointment, or at

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:
* Pre-hydrating can make your donation process easier (particularly in
the hot weather we're having). Please consider drinking extra water
and juice during the 24 hours before your donation, but avoid extra
caffeine which can actually dehydrate you.
* Approximately 4.2 percent of those between the ages of 18 - 75
donate blood in the United States.
