What
we can do
- Donate blood. There are several
places in the area where donations
of blood can be made. The University is trying to arrange holding
a blood drive on campus in the next few weeks. Susan Skalsky of the
Health and Wellness Center says blood donations will be needed for at
least the next eight weeks.
- Buy a pin. Red, white and blue
pins are being sold for a $1 donation in the Student Center lobby; the
Student Activities office, Student Center, Rm 104; and at the Center
for Community-Based Learning, Morehead Hall, Rm 338. Money raised will
go to the American Red Cross New York City Disaster Relief Fund. This
effort is being sponsored by the Presidential Leaders Program, the Center
for Community-Based Learning and Student Activities, with support from
Talley's Trophy in Little Falls.
