Military blood supplies are adequate at this time America's Blood Centers, a network of community blood centers that collects nearly half of the nation's blood supply, has signed an agreement with the United States Department of Defense to supplement the military's blood supply during wartime, if and when additional blood is needed. While the military collects its own blood and relies foremost on that blood for its troops, America's Blood Centers' members, including Central Illinois Community Blood Center, will be called upon to support that supply when requested by the Department of Defense. However, at this time, the department has not requested additional support from any blood-collecting organization.
Once the military requests blood from
America's Blood "At this time, blood levels across the country are very low, and we need more donors to come in regularly. Unfortunately, we don't know when the military may call upon community blood centers or the Red Cross to help support their supply. Blood is needed every day -- not just in times of disaster or military action. It is imperative that we make certain that blood is on the shelves at all times so we're prepared for anything. It is the blood on the shelf that saves lives," said David Parsons, CEO of Central Illinois Community Blood Center. Locally, Central Illinois Community Blood Center, a member of America's Blood Centers, encourages donors to continue to donate regularly and asks healthy community members who are not active blood donors to join in this lifesaving effort. "We are confident that, should the need arise, central Illinois residents will rise to the challenge and support not only the blood center, but their country," said David Parsons, CEO. Logan County community members will have an opportunity to help support this effort at a blood drive at the Logan County Paramedic Association building (old Glenn Pontiac Building) on Monday, April 7, from noon until 6 p.m. Blood collected at this blood drive through Central Illinois Community Blood Center will help local patients and, if requested by the military, will also be used to help support the war effort.

Lincoln Rotary Club looks for host families The Lincoln Rotary Club is currently looking for four host families for next school year, beginning this August. Rotary hopes to bring an international or foreign exchange male student into our community for the year, with the student scheduled to return home in July 2004. Each host family will have the responsibility of housing the student for only three months. In this way, four families will get to experience a life from another culture, and the student will get a slice of Americana from the perspective of four different family experiences. If you are interested in participating in this program, please call Bob Jeckel at 735-5372 or Lynn Laughlin at 735-1793.

It is a time like no other. Since Sept. 11, 2001, 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).
