Got this from my boss, and I thought it was relevant, considering the season.
Hi Everybody,
I was just making an appointment to give platelets, and was told an astonishing fact. The Bay Area is notoriously very low in blood donation, especially as compared to the amount needed. This is true even more during the holidays, when you would think that people had giving at the forefront of their minds. If you go to http://www.bayarea-redcross.org/topnav/blood.htm, you can get more info and even schedule an appointment. The chapter in San Jose is open through Dec 23, and then again after the 26th. With all the disasters happening, on top of regular needs, the entire nation is very low. Please go out and donate, and encourage your friends and families to do the same.
Thanks
Kay
She donated a kidney earlier this year, so I'm encouraging people to give blood, it's far less painful then donating a kidney.
