Summer is coming and so is the INVISTA blood drive. June 5 is the day when the American Red Cross bloodmobile will be in the parking lot waiting for your gift of life. Did you know 1 pint of blood can save three lives? Increased warm weather activities lead to increased accidents and the need for a robust blood supply. The strange fact is blood can’t be manufactured by any means other than the human body. The blood supply relies on your generous donations.

Remember the bloodmobile will be operating from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. Sign up to donate at www.GiveLife.org or call John Mattis at 425-2728 or Michael Bryce at 425-2420. Scheduling of appointments is preferred, but walk-ins are welcome. Walk-in donors are encouraged to come in the afternoon if possible as mornings fill up quickly.
