Many retailers will have a little rubber ducky scarecrow in their windows for the ‘I Spy’ game that the library will hand out so join everyone in looking at the Windows on Parade!

LifeSource, Chicagoland’s Blood Center, is hosting the Park Ridge Community Blood Drive on Monday, Oct. 4, from 2p.m. to 8p.m. at the South Park Church, 1550 S. Courtland Avenue, about a block south of Devon, in Park Ridge, Illinois.
The need for blood is constant and ongoing. It is needed for surgeries and medical procedures; leukemia and cancer management, trauma and other care. Although any time is a good time to donate blood, it is especially needed during the coming winter months when there is a cyclical shortage due to bad weather, the holidays, travel, and school vacations.
Every time you donate blood you can save the lives of three people. And it’s easy to donate. The donation process takes about an hour and it’s both safe and comfortable. Donors must be at least 17 years old (16 with parental signed parental consent form), weigh at least 110 pounds and be in general good health. Most medications are accepted. There is no upper age limit. For more information or to make an appointment, call 847-803-7943. Walk-ins welcome.
Note: We are now on our regular schedule, which is every 56 days. Our schedule in Park Ridge makes it possible for serious donors to participate up to six times a year. Our “next” blood drive, will be at Mary Seat of Wisdom on the morning of Sunday, Dec. 5, 2010
LifeSource, Chicagoland’s Blood Center, is a non-profit organization. As the largest blood center in Illinois,
LifeSource distributes a half million-blood products annually to 58 area hospitals in meeting the need for patient
transfusion therapy. Ninety percent of the population will need donated blood in its lifetime, yet fewer than three
percent of eligible donors in the Chicagoland area regularly give the gift of life.
