The Mount Vernon American Legion Auxiliary is sponsoring a blood drive on Thursday, May 21, from 12:15 to 6 p.m. at the Mount Vernon High School. Potential donors can contact Roberta Olsen at 236-5269, for an appointment or go to www.bloodhero.com and make your appointment on line.
Remember that hero status isn't reserved only for those brave men and women who rush into burning buildings or step into the front lines of wars.
"There's a hero in all of us," said Lori Liebman, donor recruitment director of United Blood Services, this area's non-profit community blood service provider.
"Ordinary people are saving lives every day," Liebman said. "They do it while they are on lunch break or while running errands. They have found the hero in themselves by donating blood."
All volunteer blood donors must be at least 16 years old and weigh at least 100 pounds and be in good health. If you are 16 or younger, you must have a signed permission slip from a parent or guardian. A picture ID is required of all donors.
A reminder of the City Wide Rummage Sale to be held Saturday, June 2, from 7 a.m. to 2 p.m. in Mount Vernon. If you would like to be added to the list for a sale or for any other information, you may contact either Rhonda Deinert at 236-5388 or Jen Block at 236-5549.
