“We are proud to be joining forces with the American Red Cross and radio station KLOU Radio 103.3 on this community blood drive,” said L&C Director of Career and Veteran Services Terry Lane. “By taking part in this opportunity to help others, you just might save a life. Please make an effort to attend, and please share this information with your family and friends.”
