The University Memorial Center at the University of Colorado at Boulder will be the site of the 2000 Spring Boulder Campus Blood Drive.

Open to the public, the blood drive will be held in the UMC west ballroom from Feb. 22 through Feb. 24 from 10 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. CU-Boulder staff, faculty and students interested in donating blood can sign up for appointments at the UMC loggia from Feb. 14 through Feb. 18 from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m., and on Feb. 21 from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. or by calling the Boulder Staff Council at (303) 492-5473 by noon on Feb. 21.

People also can donate blood without an appointment by coming to the UMC West Ballroom Feb. 22 through Feb. 24 from 10 a.m. to 3:30 p.m.

Donors are required to be in good health, weigh at least 110 pounds and not be in a risk-behavior group.

Donors should eat within four hours of donating and drink plenty of fluids before and after the process. The blood will be distributed by the Belle Bonfils Blood Center in Denver, which supplies blood to about 80 area hospitals and health-care facilities throughout Colorado.

The drive is sponsored by Boulder Staff Council, Alpha Phi Omega, Arnold Air Society, Panhellenic, Alpha Epsilon Delta, the Student Organization for Alumni Relations, Navy ROTC, Interfraternity Council and Belle Bonfils Community Blood Center.
