THURSDAY, JUNE 27

• There will be a blood drive at the Plymouth Fire Department, located at 111 N. Center St. in Plymouth from 1:00 to 6:00 p.m. Blood and Power Red donations are being taken. Blood is the most common type of donation, during which approximately a pint of ‘whole blood’ is given. This type of blood donation usually takes about an hour. A Power Red donation collects the red cells but returns most of the plasma and platelets to the donor. These donors must meet specific eligibility requirements and have type A Neg, B Neg, or O Blood. To reserve your spot, visit www.redcrossblood.org or call 1-800-RED CROSS (1-800733-2767).
