Easter is an important festival when we celebratethe value of life - would you like to help us to realize the truemeaning of Easter this year?
Everyday, even during holiday periods such asEaster, there will be many people of all ages in our community who willfall ill or who will be injured and who, in consequence, will need ablood transfusion urgently in order to save their lives. Indeed, thedemand for blood will continue to increase significantly as our localpopulation grows and ages. To ensure that sufficient blood is alwaysavailable, we need more healthy people to join as blood donors and togive blood regularly.
As a gesture of our appreciation, donors giving blood during the Easter period, from 4 to 15 April 2009, will be presented with a useful "Blood-Giving Alarm Clock" (complete with time, date, alarm, temperature and lighting functions).This splendid gift is available whilst stocks last.
