Red Cross Credit Card
Can't Be Bought
It's common knowledge that we live in a credit
card age. Our purses and wallets are stuffed with
gasoline credit cards, department store cards, diner
cards, etc. There is one credit card - perhaps the
most valuable that a family can own - that is carried
by only a fraction of our area residents.
This card cannot be obtained for money. The
Blood Donor Credit Card, issued by the American
Red Cross, can be obtained in only one way - by
someone giving a pint of blood.
A person carrying a Blood Donor Credit Card is
entitled to blood for himself and his immediate
family without obligation to replace. Family
members included are spouse, children under 18,
children over 18 who are unable to donate blood,
parents, parents-in-law, grandparents and grand-parents-in-law.
A Blood Donor Credit Card is valid for 12 months
and is issued at the time a pint of blood is contributed
through the American National Red Cross. In the
Marshall area residents will have an opportunity to
earnf a Blood Credit Card on Friday, January 18
when the Bloodmobile will be at the French Broad
Electric Building between 2 p.m. and 6 p.m. Anyone
between 18 and 66 may become a donor.
A medical check is done on each person before the
blood is drawn.
This holiday season has been a critical one for the
Blood Program. Needs continue but collections are
"Slow." Mark this date as a Red Letter Day on yoifr
calendar and be on hand when the Bloodmobile is
here.
Listen for more information and reminders from
your radio station.
Mrs. C.E. Mashburn and Mrs. Hattie Ella Nix are
working as co-chairmen for this Bloodmobile visit.
