Dear Everyone:

(Please forward this to other Beit Shemesh email lists. Thanks!)

T'shuva, T'filah, and Tzedaka have the power to nullify the evil decree. If you think about it, giving blood is certainly a form of Tzedaka - it only "costs" a pint of blood and about 30-45 minutes of your time!!!! (AND you get juice and cookies afterwards!)

Please mark your calendars (if you haven't already)...

DATE: Sunday, October 23, 2011 (Or L'26 Tishrei 5772) This drive has been on the Community Calendar since June! No excuses!!! 
(NOTE that this is the first Sunday after the Chaggim. Blood donations are always low during the Chaggim, and unfortunately, the need for blood is always high. Our drive is very important to helping MDA replenish our precious Nation's blood supply!!! Please make every effort to come and donate a pint of life-saving blood.) 

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  www.shemesh.co.il. Click the Teddy Bear link!

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!

FOOD SPONSORS: We have sponsors - their names will be published next week. Thanks VERY much! 

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!

Kol Tuv,
Deb Weisblatt (for the Greater Beit Shemesh Blood Drive Committee)
