Assemblymen Dean Murray (R,C – East Patchogue) and Dan Losquadro (R,C – Shoreham) will be holding a blood drive on Saturday, February 12 at the Coram Firehouse. The event runs from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. at the Firehouse, which is located at 303 Middle Country Road, Coram, NY.
“All the snow that we’ve seen on Long Island in recent weeks has resulted in fewer blood donations making it important that people come to the Coram Firehouse on Valentine’s weekend to donate blood,” Murray said. “I would also encourage anyone with legislative concerns to visit me at this event.”
On Long Island the snow has wreaked havoc. Blood banks are at a dangerous low level of blood supply and are urgently asking for help. Regardless of whether you are able to give blood or not, please stop by to meet with the Assemblymen.
“I invite the local community to join me by participating in this blood drive as a great way to assist their neighbors; it’s also an opportunity to sound off with their Assemblymen,” Losquadro said. “Join us at the blood bank to help restore the supply to our local blood centers that have been hurt by the storms this winter season.”
To be a donor you must:
• Bring valid photo or signature identification;
• Weigh at least 110 lbs.;
• Be at least 16 years old (Those under 18 years of age need consent, and individuals 76 years of age and older need a doctor’s note.);
• Eat well and be hydrated prior to appointment; and
• Not have gotten a tattoo within the past 12 months (unless applied in New Jersey).
To sign up please contact your assemblymen’s office:
Assemblyman Dan Losquadro at 631-727-0204 or losquadrod@assembly.state.ny.us
