The Maplewood Lions Club will hold its annual November Blood Drive
today from 9:00 AM to 2:00 PM at Morrow Memorial
Church (Fellowship Hall) on Baker Street.
The Drive is being held in
effort to meet the urgency of the increasing need for blood donations.
Sixteen year olds may donate with a parental consent form which will
be made available at the Drive. They must be accompanied by a custodial
parent and both the donor and parent must present identification.
There is no upper age limit for donors provided they meet general health
requirements.
All donors must weigh at least 120 pounds, be in general good heath,
present a signed or picture form of identification and know their
social security number. Please eat a meal 1 hour before donating and
drink plenty of water. People with a fever or sore throat should wait
until they are feeling better before donating. There is a 24 hour
deferral for teeth cleaning and fillings.
For those who have recently traveled outside the United States and
for other eligibility questions, please contact Brenda McEntyre-Saunders
at The Blood Center of New Jersey by calling (973)-676-4700 Ext 144.
