Donate Blood in November and Receive a Pair of Buddy the Elf and Red Cross Socks!
 
Buddy the Elf has a big heart, and we think you do too! Share your generous spirit with patients in need this holiday season and in return, get a pair of officially licensed Elf and Red Cross socks! Get yours when you come to give blood on November 28 while they last, then kick back and celebrate the 20th Anniversary of the film Elf! 
 
LTPL  has partnered with the American Red Cross to host blood drives throughout the year.  Hosting a blood drive coincides with our core values of supporting our community.  With a simple blood donation, we have the ability to help save the life of someone who could be a coworker, loved one or neighbor.
 
Donors should drink plenty of liquids for 24 hours prior to donation time.

The speaker, Mrs. Carol Nowak Bogan, St Clair County Genealogy & History Society (SCCGHS) member and adoptee herself, will share her research tools & tips used in a 34-year experience in fighting the “brick walls” and the archaic Michigan laws in search of her true family history and identity.
