Blood drive precedes holiday weekend

The Community Blood Center will conduct a blood drive from 8 a.m. to 6 p.m. Thursday and from 8 a.m. to 3 p.m. Friday at its office at 1410 Kasold Drive.

LeAnne DeLong, recruitment representative for the blood center, said a drive always is conducted just before Memorial Day because of increased needs over holiday weekends.

Call 843-5383 for an appointment at the blood drive. Walk-ins are welcome, and registered donors will receive a coupon for Culver’s.
