The Local #10 annual Spring Blood Drive will be on Thursday, May 23, 2019, from 1pm to 6pm in the Big Union Hall. Please mark your calendars and try and make it to help the American Red Cross bring up their blood supplies. The Red Cross has been in an emergency blood state since the fall of last year. As much as I hate to say it, some people who need emergency surgery, treatment for cancer, and life saving surgeries, have not been able to do so. They don't have enough blood, to be on stand by, for all of the treatments and surgeries that are scheduled and you add in accidents and they are really in trouble. Being in one of the most dangerous trades out there, we need to know that if one of our Brothers or Sisters gets hurt and needs blood, they will be able to get it. We don't plan accidents, so when they happen we are totally caught off guard, and so is the Red Cross. No matter how hard they work to bring up the levels, the every day need keeps coming, and bringing them back down again. Please help Local #10, do our part, to help our trade as well as our community. You can go on line and schedule at www.RedCrossBlood.org or you can call Tammie, at the Hall, and she will get you scheduled.
Hope to see you there.
