Last Chance for Blood Drive

Homewood's big community blood drive is this Saturday. Appointments are welcome.

Yeah, we all know giving blood is creepy.

However, for the small price of momentary uncomfortablility, you can literally save lives by taking the time to donate blood.

(And you can pretend you're totally hip and part of that whole trendy Twilight vampire thing.)
