Dear Listers: 

Unfortunately, there is a constant pressure for MDA to maintain the blood supply in our precious country and I'd like to encourage everyone who can to come and donate a pint!!! 

Especially around the Chaggim, donations are low - check out the Blood Drop at http://www.mdais.org/ . As you can see, the blood supply for the entire country (surgeries, accidents, tipulim, piguiim chas v'shalom) is dangerously low. (Today, there are only 785 pints of type O blood for the ENTIRE COUNTRY!) We purposely schedule this blood drive immediately after the Chaggim to help replenish the supply. Every pint counts - YOUR PINT COUNTS!!! 
 
Please mark your calendars (if you haven't already)...
 
DATE: Sunday, October 14, 2012 (Or L'29 Tishrei 5773) 
This drive has been on the Community Calendar since June! No excuses!!! 
 
TIME: 17:30 to 22:30
 
PLACE: Beit Knesset Feigenson, Nofei Aviv (downstairs in the Ulam Smachot)
 
WHO: Healthy adults ages 18 to 65 (17 with a parent's note). Other restrictions apply. For details, see our website at  http://www.shemesh.co.il/bd/index.html.  
 
WHAT TO BRING: Teudat Zehut, Passport, Driver's License
 
WHAT NOT TO BRING: Please leave your adorable children at home. We don't provide babysitting and a blood donation center can be a dangerous place for small children (especially while their parents are donating blood).
Arrange a babysitter or swap with a neighbor - you can watch their kids while they donate and they'll watch yours while you donate!
 
RIDES: Rides to/from the drive can be cheerfully arranged. Please contact me if you'd like a ride. Get a group together and we'll bring all of you!! We've provided rides from as close as the Sheinfeld neighborhood and as far as Netiv HaLamed Hey...so far!
 
SPONSORS: This blood drive is generously sponsored by Wendy and Phil Serlin l'ilui nishmat Wendy's father, Myron Friedman, Z"L and by Joe and Deb Weisblatt in honor of our granddaughters.
 
As always, if you have ANY questions or concerns, please don't hesitate to contact me. If I don't know the answer, I'll refer you to the nice folks at MDA who do!! 
 
Gmar Chatima Tova L'Kulam! Wishing you a safe, happy, healthy, and peaceful New Year and a joyous Sukkot!
 
Kol Tuv,
Deb Weisblatt (for the Greater Beit Shemesh Blood Drive Committee)
