Blood Drive
JANUARY 4, 2012
Don’t let our next blood drive get forgotten in the holiday excitement!!
PGUMC is hosting a blood drive for Rex Blood Services on Jan. 4 from 3-7 pm. Contact Jean Farrell at pjfarrell@mindspring.com.
| Wednesday, January 4 from 3:00-7:00 pm. Please sign up online at www.mysignup.com/pleasant or after services.
Contact Jean at 847-5147 or email pjfarrell@mindspring.com with any questions. All donors will receive 100 “Donate For Life” points, 2 free tickets to Raleighwood, and a Chick-fil-a coupon for a free sandwich! The greatest blood shortages occur during the holidays! Please help replenish the local blood supply! |
You may schedule your appointment to donate by visiting the following website: www.mysignup.com/pleasant. Donors must be 17 years old or older.
We can also use help with:
- yummy snacks for donors
- 1-2 youth to watch and play with any children while their parents donate. This will count as community service hours.
- 1-2 people to help host the blood drive. It’s as easy as greeting people and visiting with them if they have to wait. Hosts will also make sure things are going smoothly, refill the snacks, etc.
Please contact Jean Farrell at 847-5147 or pjfarrell@mindspring.com if you would like to help, have trouble scheduling your appointment or if you’d like more information about the blood drive.
