Thursday March 16, 11 a.m. – 5 p.m., Eastsound Fire Station

— from Leif —

Orcas Fire & Rescue, Lions, and Kiwanis wish to invite you to celebrate Spring by donating a little of your time and some blood to help another.​

We were the victim of our own success, and a mistake at our end last Drive in not giving all the advanced appointments priority. Apologies. Please give us another try​; we’ll set another record.

​To schedule a work break you can reserve a spot any time at www.psbc.org/programs/drive. You may also call to schedule at BloodWorksNW during business hours, 1-800-398-7888 if the internet is not your thing.

If you do not have an appointment, come in when you can, but after 1 p.m. is better.

Don’t forget your picture ID or donor card. Remember to eat and drink before you come. Just visiting Orcas, have a question about your eligibility? Getting older? On medication/ Anticoagulants? Diabetic? No problem. Come for an evaluation, or call that number. ​

If you cannot give, perhaps encourage a friend or co-worker. Thanks.
