*URGENT NEED!!*

Dear Snap Avon Members:

While thousands of people have answered the emergency call for blood and platelet donations issued by the American Red Cross on July 9, there remains an urgent need for platelet donors, as well as donors with types O negative, B negative and A negative blood.  However, all blood types are needed.  Currently, blood products are being shipped to area hospitals almost as quickly as donations are coming in.  We need your help.  

If you are eligible, please sign up to donate at our blood drive on Saturday, August 3, 2013 from 9 a.m. – 2 p.m.  Please encourage friends, family, neighbors and community contacts to join us for this very important drive.
