Holiday blood drive on The annual holiday blood drive of Community Hospital of the Monterey Peninsula kicked off on at CSU Monterey Bay and continues through the end of the year, with many opportunities for donors to give the “gift of life.” The drive is held each year to ensure a steady blood supply during a time when demand is often up but donations are down. “All the blood collected stays in our community,” says Sharon Paddock, Blood Center supervisor. “So when people donate here, they are potentially giving the gift of life to neighbors, friends, or maybe even someone in their own family.” Donors who give during the Gift of Life campaign are recognized in newspaper advertising or on Community Hospital’s Facebook page, sharing with others the reasons they donate. They also receive a pocket calendar and are entered into drawings for prizes. The bloodmobile will be at CSUMB for the kick-off drive on Wednesday, Nov. 16, from 10 a.m. – 2 p.m. at the Student Center on Inter-Garrison Road. Other upcoming drives include: Naval Postgraduate School, 1 University Circle, Monterey, 10:30 a.m.-3:30 p.m., Dec. 1 (military clearance required for gate access); Capital Insurance Group, 2300 Garden Road, Monterey, 9-11:30 a.m. Dec. 2; Joining Hands Benefit Shop & Keller Williams® Realty, Carmel, 26358 Carmel Rancho Lane, Carmel, noon-4 p.m. Dec. 5; Monterey Bay Aquarium Research Institute, 7700 Sand- holdt Road, Moss Landing, 11 a.m.-3 p.m. Dec. 6; and CTB–McGraw Hill, 20 Ryan Ranch Road, Monterey, 10 a.m.-1 p.m. Dec. 8.
