Story - Blood Drive at Civic Center
Blood Drive at Civic Center:
The
local university blood center had a blood drive today at the Civic
Center auditorium. Almost 300 people showed up, but about 50 were turned
away for various medical reasons. Fifty others left because the lines
were moving so slowly. The event concluded at 6 p.m., three hours after
the scheduled close. It was a long day for everyone—administrators,
nurses, and donors. But there were plenty of chairs and tables, and many
people brought their own books, magazines, or newspapers.
