| Blood
drive set for Tuesday
The Cottonwood Blood Drive is scheduled for January 30, 2018 at the Cottonwood Community Hall from 11:45 am to 6:00 pm. An appointment can be made by either going online at INBC.org or by calling Brenda Kaschmitter or Donna Quick at 962-3251. Giving blood is a great way to support the community by helping to ensure that a stable inventory is available for premature babies, cancer patients, or the many people who are involved in accidents or who suffer from illnesses which may require transfusions. Blood has a shelf life of only 42 days, and therefore, must continually be replenished. Donors can give blood every 56 days, or up to six times a year. This year, you can make a difference. All it takes is your willingness to help someone in need and a pint of your blood. Any healthy person age 17 (or age 16 with a signed parental consent) or older and weighing at least 110 pounds may be eligible to donate blood. Valid identification is required for all blood donations. |
