23rd Greater Beit Shemesh Blood Drive

23rd Greater Beit Shemesh Blood Drive - you're ALSO right!!

(See the Statistics page at http://www.shemesh.co.il/bd/BloodDriveStatistics.html for the statistics from the past drives.) Please mark your calendars (ifyou haven't already done so) so that you'll remember to attend this very important, life-saving event!!!

DATE: Sunday, February 10, 2008 (Or L'5 Adar Aleph 5768)

(NOTE that this is the middle of the winter. Blood donations are usually low during the winter, and unfortunately, the need for blood is always high. Our drive is very important to helping MDA replenish our precious Nation's blood supply!!!)

TIMES: 17:30 to 22:30 '
PLACE: Beit Knesset Feigenson, Nofei Aviv (downstairs in the UlamSmachot)
WHO: Healthy adults ages 18 to 65 (17 with a parent's note).

Other restrictions apply. For details, see our website at http://www.shemesh.co.il/. Click the Teddy Bear link on the left!

WHAT TO BRING: Teudat Zehut, Passport, Driver's License

WHAT NOT TO BRING: Please leave your adorable children at home. We don't provide babysitting and a blood donation center can be a dangerous place for small children (especially while their parents are donating blood).

Arrange a babysitter or swap with a neighbor - you can watch their kids while they donate and they'll watch yours while you donate!

RIDES: Rides to/from the drive can be cheerfully arranged.

Please contact me if you'd like a ride. Get a group together and we'll bring all of you!! We've provided rides from as close as the Sheinfeld neighborhood and as far as RBS...so far!

FOOD SPONSORS: We don't have any sponsors for this blood drive yet. You can sponsor a drive in honor of someone, in memory of someone, or topromote a business. If you'd like to sponsor the drive, please let me know. As always, if you have ANY questions or concerns, please don't hesitate to contact me.

If I don't know the answer, I'll refer you to the nice folks at MDA who do!! Wishing you a safe, happy, and healthy winter!

Kol Tuv, Deb Weisblatt (for the Greater Beit Shemesh Blood Drive Committee)
