Mena fire department and law
enforcement staffs are asking all area residents to come to the Guns ‘N Hoses
blood drive with Arkansas Blood Institute (ABI), from 12:15 p.m. to 6 p.m.,
Monday, August 13, at St. Agnes Parrish Hall on 203 8th Street.
To fuel a little healthy
competition, donors will choose which department to support by donating on
behalf of law enforcement or the fire department.
Not only will each blood donor save
up to three lives with their donation, they’ll also receive a voucher for two
tickets to the Tulsa Zoo and this year’s Guns ‘N Hoses T-shirt.
Anyone who is healthy and 16 years
of age can donate*, and donations can be made every 56 days.
Arkansas Blood Institute is
affiliated with Oklahoma Blood Institute, the ninth largest, non-profit blood
center in America. For more information or to make an appointment, contact
Arkansas Blood Institute at 877-340-8777 or visit us at www.arkbi.org.
