SPECIAL EVENTS AND ANNOUNCEMENTS

Blood center needs community support

The Central Illinois Community Blood Center provides all of the blood and blood products for 12 area hospitals, including all of the hospitals in Lincoln, Hopedale, Springfield, Taylorville, Jacksonville, Pittsfield, Carlinville, Carrollton, Hillsboro and Pana. CICBC is a community-based blood center whose mission is to provide a safe and adequate blood supply for patients in local hospitals. No other organization provides blood in these hospitals.

At this time, blood centers across the nation are experiencing severe blood shortages due to summer heat, vacations and new FDA deferrals. CICBC must have the support of healthy community members in order to save the lives of your friends, neighbors and family members. After local needs are met, blood is shared throughout the United States through a resource-sharing network.

Every patient deserves to feel confident that the blood he or she needs is safe and available. A continued adequate local blood supply depends on community support.

There is a real need for O negative, A negative and B negative blood. The area center will be supplying blood for surgeries involving two open hearts and an aortic aneurysm, all using O negative. There has been an unusually high usage of the negative types this past week and concerns are high for this weekend.

There will be an opportunity for community members to help replenish the local blood supply and support their local first responders on July 16 at Abraham Lincoln Memorial Hospital from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m., sponsored by the hospital auxiliary.

Three drives are scheduled in August: Aug 7, 19 and 30. Times and locations will be announced.

Please remember that the patients you are helping are your friends, neighbors and family members.

"It’s about life. Please donate blood."

[CICBC press release]

Family and Friends in the Armed Forces

It is a time like no other. Since Sept. 11 we are a changed nation. Individually, our daily sensitivity toward whom and what we have in our lives has been heightened. We are more conscious and appreciative, first about those we love and see every day. Next, we have a newfound appreciation for those who risk their lives every day as rescue workers and protectors of life and property in our communities. We also now think more about our military men and women who are committed to serve and protect our country. Many are away engaged in battle, some are in waiting to go, all are ready to lay their lives on the line in defense of our freedom.

Friends and relatives serving in the armed forces are listed here so we might all hold them in our thoughts, prayers and well wishes. If you know of other friends and relatives serving (they need not be from Logan County), please send the information to ldneditor@lincolndailynews.com. Along with the name, you are invited to include the branch of service, current location of service, postal address, e-mail address and relationship to the person providing the information (optional).
