Blood drive being held Saturday

A blood drive is being held from 8:30 a.m. to 2 p.m. this Saturday, Sept. 6 next to Starbucks near the UA Theater. All donors will receive a free Starbucks coffee and a Goldstein’s bagel.

Most people are eligible to donate blood. Common daily medications are usually not a problem as long as one isn’t taking an antibiotic specifically for an infection. Donors must be at least 17 years old, in overall good health and have not gotten new tattoos in the last 12 months.

To sign up, contact Dave Keys at (310) 717-5996 or by e-mail at KeysD@cshs.org.
