Call 1-888-2DONATE to book an appointment – Walk ins welcome!
 
As you may already know, on July 29th between the hours of 2:00PM and
8:00PM, the community of Blyth will be making history.
 
For the first time ever, our community will be the site of a Canadian
Blood Services blood donor clinic.
 
Due to the size of the community, Blyth has traditionally been
overlooked in efforts to find blood to be used for such things as
cancer treatments, treatment of automobile accident victims and for
those undergoing heart surgery.  After more than a year of trying, the
Blyth Masonic Lodge and a number of other community partners, have
convinced Canadian Blood Services to ignore the size of our town, and
to focus on the size of our collective heart.
 
I have been a part of this community for my entire life and I believe
that we can make a serious contribution to this effort.  If you have
been touched by any of the ailments that I have mentioned - or know
someone who has - then you have even more cause to donate or to
volunteer your time at this blood drive.
 
It takes about an hour to make a donation but that donation can save
up to three lives.  Our target is 110 donors at the clinic on the
29th.  With that in mind, I would like to ask each and every person
who reads this letter to roll up their sleeve and give.
 
Let's show everyone that our collective heart is far larger than
expected; let's show that neighbour-helping-neighbour attitude that is
so important to us; and, most importantly, let's help save hundreds of
lives.
 
Please call 1-888-236-6283 and book your time to donate.
