FUTURE BUSINESS LEADERS HOST BLOOD DRIVE NOV. 23

CHAFFEE - The American Red Cross and Chaffee High School Future Business Leaders of America (FBLA) will host a blood drive on Monday, Nov. 23.

It will be held from 2 to 6 p.m. in the gym lobby, 109 N. 5th Street.

"During the summer months, our blood supplies are used very rapidly. Donors are needed in the fall to help bring the supplies back up to safe levels," said Dana Garner, director of donor recruitment, Missouri/Illinois Regional Blood Services. "Red Cross depends on dedicated blood donors to give on a regular basis for patients in our area hospitals."

To be eligible to give blood, persons must weight at least 110 pounds and be at least 17 years old. Donors may give every 56 days, or about every eight weeks.
