Living WellPublished Wednesday, June 9, 1999 in the Nevada County PicayuneThe Nevada County Extension Homemakers Council is once again handling the American Red Cross Blood Drive in the county. The blood drive is held six times a year to assist the Red Cross in maintaining a three-day reserve in the state of Arkansas. By Nevada County participating in this blood drive, we assure that a supply is available, if needed, for the people in this county. In the last several years, the number of donors in Nevada County has been steadily declining and we were at the point of losing the opportunity to have a blood drive in the county. The American Red Cross asked the Nevada County Extension Homemakers to assist them in turning the program around. The Extension Homemakers accepted the challenge and as a result of the blood drive held in April our county's donor numbers rose. As a direct result the county quota has been raised by the American Red Cross and the donation hours have been extended. With your participation we can keep the American Red Cross Blood Drive in Nevada County. The next drive is scheduled June 15 from 2:00 until 7:00 p.m. at Central Baptist Church in Prescott. Previous donors will be reminded by telephone. Those of you who have not donated in the past just need to show up. If you have any questions about donor criteria, please call this office at 870-887-2818. We will be happy to answer your questions. Search | Nevada County Picayune by date | Gurdon Times by date |
