If you think the economy is hurting you should hear about the blood banks. I am calling on everyone who can to come to donate blood. Life South will hold a blood drive on Friday, August 21st @ Chick-Fil-A (Dahlonega) from 10:30 am - 5:30 pm.

Each donor will receive a t-shirt, a complimentary cholesterol screening and blood typing and 12 months coverage in the Life-South Blood Donor Benefit Program. All donors through August will be entered in a drawing for a $500 travel voucher.

Donors must be at least 17 years old (16 with signed LifeSouth parent permission form), weight 110 pounds or more, and show a photo I.D. at the time of donation. One winner per LifeSouth region. For more information call 770-538-0500 or visit Dahlonega Blood Donations - Life South Website
