SEPTEMBER BRIMMING WITH SPECKLED STONEWARE MUG

EVERY DONOR APPRECIATED IN ‘EVERY DROP COUNTS’ CAMPAIGN

DAYTON & DARKE COUNTY, When footballs start flying you know fall is beginning and Community Blood Center (CBC) is welcoming the change of seasons with a warm gift for the cooler days ahead.
Everyone who registers to donate at any CBC branch or most mobile blood drives Monday, Sept. 10 through Saturday, Sept. 29 will receive the new speckled black stoneware mug emblazoned in red with “Blood Donor – Every Drop Counts” and the CBC blood drop logo.

The mug is the first in a series of CBC fall giveaways that celebrate the dropping temperatures, changing colors and holiday traditions of autumn in the Midwest.

Notice about important changes to CBC’s donor ID system - CBC has assigned new, eight-digit donor identification numbers to all donors. When donors present their current CBC Donor ID card at a CBC branch or mobile drive it will be noted for replacement and the donor will receive a new plastic Donor ID card and key fob card in the mail. Donors must use their new Donor ID number to schedule appointments on www.DonorTime.com.

Technology is making it faster and more convenient than ever to schedule your next blood donation. Just use your computer or smart phone to make an appointment online at www.DonorTime.com. You can also schedule your next appointment using your mobile device to scan the DonorTime QR code.
