Not Just Oil, Pennzoil FAST FAST FAST FAST WAY WAY WAY WAY LET US DO YOUR DIRTY WORK! KIDS' CORNER BROUGHT TO YOU BY: Spring is close, but February often brings unpredictable winter weather that can cause blood drive cancellations and make it diffi cult for donors to make it to their appointments safely. As the American Red Cross continues to monitor seasonal challenges that could impact the blood supply, donors are urged to make and keep appointments to help prevent a shortage in the weeks to come. Donors of all blood types – particularly type O blood donors, the most needed blood group by hospitals – are needed daily to meet demand. In thanks for helping keep hospital shelves stocked, all who come to give in February will get a $10 Amazon.com Gift Card by email, thanks to Amazon. Those who come to donate this month will also automatically be entered to win a trip for two to Clearwater Beach, Florida. Details are available at RedCrossBlood.org/heart. Protect the blood supply from dropping – book a time to give blood by visiting RedCrossBlood. org, downloading the Red Cross Blood Donor App, or calling 1-800-RED CROSS. Upcoming blood donation opportunities in Rutherford County: • Friday, February 17, 12-5:30PM First Baptist Church Fellowship Hall 211 West Main St., Forest City • Tuesday, February 21, 8AM-1PM Chase High School – Auxiliary Gym 1603 Chase High Rd., Forest City • Friday, February 24, 10AM-3PM First Baptist Church, Fellowship Hall 246 N. Marion St., Rutherfordton How to donate blood: Simply download the American Red Cross Blood Donor App, visit RedCrossBlood.org, call 1-800-RED CROSS (1- 800-733-2767) or enable the Blood Donor Skill on any Alexa Echo device to make an appointment or for more information. All blood types are needed to ensure a reliable supply for patients. A blood donor card or driver's license or two other forms of identifi cation are required at check-in. Individuals who are 17 years of age in most states (16 with parental consent where allowed by state law), weigh at least 110 pounds and are in generally good health may be eligible to donate blood. High school students and other donors 18 years of age and younger also have to meet certain height and weight requirements.
