Let me start off by thanking everyone who came to donate blood at our
drive in July. We collected close to 300 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 Tuesday, 7/11
through Thursday, 7/13 in La Sala on the second floor of the Student
Center (W20). The drive will run from 1PM until 7PM on all three
days. By giving blood or by volunteering your time at the blood
drive, you can help save lives.
Because the Red Cross depends on schools for a large portion of its
blood supply, it is especially important for those of you who are
around for the summer to come in and donate. We'd particularly like
to see more MIT staff members donate blood at this drive. If you have
a friend who is thinking about donating for the first time, please
bring them with you, it makes it easier for them, and is one of the
best ways we have of getting new donors.
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 are hoping to have more MIT people helping out during this drive
that we have had for many recent drives. This will help people get
registered more quickly, and take some of the pressure off of 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. All these efforts are
important to the drive's success. To volunteer, send e-mail to
