In recognition of the cen- ter's anniversary and the WAC's role as a founding partner with the PSBC, we are partnering with them for a blood drive. We invite our members, their family and friends, and WAC team members to par- ticipate. To donate, you must be at least 18 years old, 114 pounds, and in good health. Giving blood is safe and easy. It typically takes 40–50 minutes. e process includes a health-history question- naire and screening interview, blood pressure and pulse check, donation time, and time afterward for juice and cookies with volunteers and fellow donors. Drinking plenty of water and eating a healthy meal within four hours of donat- ing is recommended. e WAC Blood Drive will take place in the Noble Room, just inside the Club's main entrance. Each donation of blood can save up to three people's lives. We hope you will step up to change lives with us. Contact Club Programs to schedule. For information about the requirements for giving blood, visit www.psbc.org/programs/blood.htm. clubprograms@wac.net or 206.464.3060 by September 15. Based on response (a minimum of 15 interested people), we will set up a class series. Day or evening classes will be chosen based on the group's preference.
