The Rotary Club of Long Grove, Kildeer and Hawthorn Woods will be coordinating a blood drive at the upcoming Lake Zurich Area Chamber “Everything Expo”. The event will be held on Saturday, March 16, from 10 AM to 3 PM at Concorde Banquets in Kildeer. The address is 20922 N. Rand Road, Kildeer, Illinois 60047.
This will be the fourth blood drive sponsored by the local Rotary Club.
Vitalant, formerly known as Lifesource, serves the Chicago area in providing blood products to the thousands of patients who need them each year. Their blood collection van will be on-site to make it easy and convenient for you to donate.
Anyone who is interested in donating blood should have a small meal prior to their appointment, bring a state ID, and not have donated blood at any other location in the two months prior to this date. Refreshments will be provided.
Appointments are recommended for this event. Donors are encouraged to pre-register directly at www.Vitalant.org, where more information on becoming a blood donor will be found.
The “Everything Expo” will have more than 65 community vendors from the Lake Zurich Area Chamber of Commerce on hand to discuss their businesses and non-profits. The event is open to the public. Admission is free.
Questions should be directed to the Rotary Club Blood Drive coordinator, Jim Dopler, at 847-421-7228, or jim.dopler@aol.com.
