It's time once again for us to do our part for the community blood bank.

Let's get out there and save some lives. It's pretty quick, and amazingly easy to give. If this date doesn't work for you, please go when you can at any of Miller-Keystone's locations and give them our group code #7789. They usually ask in the little room where they check you in.

As always, to help out there is a pre-registration procedure that will make things go more smoothly. First, you should call Miller-Keystone to get an appointment time between 9:00am and 1:00pm Saturday August 18th at 800-B-A-DONOR (223-6667). Then, on the day of your appointment, go to their online screening at https://www.giveapint.org/iScreen and preregister. Then show up at Cedar Crest Professional Park, 1255 S Cedar Crest Blvd # 1300, Allentown, PA to donate. Please give group code #7789 for LVH when they check you in so your donation will add to our total. Walk-ins are also welcome, but it will take a little time.

After we donate we'll head across the parking lot to Penn Pizza for a bite. It's a nice place with outstanding food at a good price.

As usual, we'll try to cluster our times (around 11:00am or thereabouts) so as many of us can eat together as possible. Please post your appointment time in the comments.
