Mr. Bart saw my posting on a local listserve that there is a blood shortage and asked me to refer people in the Metro DC area to him.
Absolutely (permission to post). "We are always looking for blood donors.You should also mention that we Platelet Donors as well. BecausePlatelets don't last as long, usually less than a week, we frequentdonors as well. There are some differences between Blood and Plateletdonations:1 - Platelet donations can take up to 2 hours2 - You can donate approximately once a week (as soon as the donationsite has healed, usually 2 to 3 days)
The website above has more information on Platelet donations (alsocalled Apheresis).
Remember, if anyone you contact donates Blood or Platelets, make surethat they mention that I was the person that referred them to donate.Thank you.Jonathan"

"Blood shortageI have to agree with Adam. As an employee of the Red Cross, I knowfirst hand what a shortage can mean to someone.With the Fall season here, Winter is just around the corner. Winter isalways a bad time for donations. The cold, the bad weather, etc. Ifyou can give when the weather is good, that helps us later. Thank youfor all the donors that are able to give."Jonathan Bart
