supply for the central Illinois area, there will be a blood drive on
Monday from noon to 6 p.m. at the Logan County Paramedic Association

School is in the running for this year's Springfield Clinic High

For your convenience, please call Tara toll-free at 1 (866)
448-3253, ext. 56, to schedule an appointment. Of course walk-ins
are always welcome and sincerely appreciated.
The blood drive is sponsored by the Lincoln Woman's Club and the
Lincoln Junior Woman's Club.
Your help is vital to protecting your community's blood supplies
for cancer patients, burn victims, accident patients and others
facing surgeries.
Chances are that you or someone special to you will need a blood
transfusion during your lifetime. The blood supply is totally
dependent upon volunteers who will take a few minutes to roll up
their sleeve and donate blood.

Blood donation is a rewarding civic duty. Many people wish they
could be more active in civic activities but can't because of time
restrictions. However, you can donate blood in less than an hour and
make an impact that can last a lifetime for someone.
If you are healthy, please do your part by donating blood. Help
protect your community, family and friends by ensuring that blood is
available at your local hospitals when it is needed. Blood has a
shelf life of only 42 days.
The Central Illinois Community Blood Center is a not-for-profit
organization that provides blood for 20 local hospitals in central
and southern Illinois. For more information about donating, call
(217) 753-1530.
