OC Blood Drive

Pardon me if my typing is imperfect here. I promise to use spell check and go through this before I click that "publish post" button below the entry box here.

My typing may be imperfect because I am proudly wearing a blue and white band-aid over my middle finger at the moment. This band-aid was part of the donation process today. One tiny little pinprick to test my iron and next thing you know I'm sentenced to the chair.

The blood donation chair that is.

This is of course a voluntary sentence. I've been giving blood since high school. My first time a disturbingly enthusiastic political science teacher prompted all of us to give.

A big congratulations to all who participated in today’s blood drive! You can tell which ones we are, we have the courage, we have the stickers, we have the snacks, and we have the yellow iodine stains on our arms to prove it.

Today Optimum Companies employees and friends were able to donate 13 units which will give people plenty to be thankful for during the holidays.

If you don't know how much giving blood matters, you might want to see this video:



If you are interested in giving blood you might want to check out www.givelife.org, where you can make an appointment.
