Blood and Tissue Center Donations
Hello all -

I just got a call from our Austin Blood and Tissue Center asking my daughter to come donate. I probed a little and was told that we are on a very low nation-wide shortage right now. The person I spoke with said that this office makes calls for other states as well and that it is low everywhere.

I know that our high school sponsors blood drives throughout the year and many of the team members donate. If you do consider this, there are restrictions so please check into them. Here in Austin they are:
- you must be 17 years of age
- weigh 110 + pounds
- be in good health

(I hope I am not offending anyone by making this post.)

Jane
