The 8th Annual Paul Seiter Memorial Hoxworth Blood Drive will be held on
Wednesday January 5th, 2011 from 2:00pm to 8:00pm at the Mason Hoxworth
Blood Center located on Mason Montgomery Rd (next to Staples & the Old Biggs
Store). The idea of a Blood Drive came from Paul. It was to be his Eagle
Scout project. He didn't live to complete the project so Sue and I have done
so annually in his memory.
Knowing that as many as 4,500 lives may have been saved by those who have
donated in Paul's memory these past eight years is a true blessing. This
year we have up to 161 donor slots to fill. We are able to accommodate those
who want to donate a single whole blood, a double red, or Apheresis
(platelets & plasma).
Please let me know if you are able to give this year; the type of donation
(whole blood, double red, Apheresis); and the time you would like to give.
The donor times begin at 2:00pm and run every 15 minutes, i.e. 2:15, 2:30,
2:45 etc. up until 8:00. Since the Apheresis process is longer, there are
only six time slots available 2:00, 2:30, 4:00, 4:30, 6:00, 6:30.
I also ask that you consider sending the attached poster to your family and
friends (facebook, etc). 161 slots are a lot to fill but I believe that with
the help of many, we can make it happen.
