Never Miss A Moment
Give The Gift Of Life By Donating Blood
On September 26th
With hospitals facing a nationwide blood shortage, Oyster Bay Town Clerk Richard LaMarca invites residents to attend a Blood Collection Drive on Thursday, September 26th from 1pm to 7pm at the Hicksville Athletic Center, located at 167 S. Broadway in Hicksville. Clerk LaMarca stated, “Blood supplies are critically needed for local hospitals to meet the demand and continue saving lives. Please consider participating in this blood drive to help bolster our blood banks and ensure as many people as possible can be helped. Together, we can give the gift of life
though a simple blood donation.”
Appointments are preferred for the Town’s Blood Drive. To qualify as a donor, a person must be between the ages of 17 and 75 years old (16 with parental permission and 76 or older with a doctor’s note), weigh at least 110 pounds and not have donated blood within the last 56 days. Anyone who received a tattoo within the past three months is ineligible to donate. It is recommended that donors eat well (low fat) and drink fluids in the days before the Blood Drive. Additionally, all donors will receive a voucher for a free
Blizzard at Dairy Queen. Town Supervisor Joseph Saladino added, “It’s quick, easy, and safe to donate a single pint of blood which can save up to three lives. Donating blood at the Hicksville Athletic Center, is an incredible way for all of us to pitch in and give back, to help ease the burden of our Healthcare Heroes as they continue to provide lifesaving efforts.”
For additional information regarding the Town’s Blood Drive, contact (516) 624-6380. To make an appointment to donate at this Blood Drive, sign up today at www.oysterbaytown. com/blooddrive

NCDA’S Dress For Success Drive
NCDA’S DRESS FOR SUCCESS DRIVE - Nassau County District Attorney Anne T. Donnelly was joined by leadership from the Nassau County Probation Department to deliver ties and dress scarves collected during NCDA’s Dress for Success Drive. Over the month-long initiative, district attorney’s office employees donated new and gently used ties and dress scarves to help justice-involved individuals ending their probation feel confident during job interviews, with the goal of setting them up for lasting success. Through the generosity of NCDA employees, more than 200 ties and nearly three dozen scarves were collected and donated to the Probation Department’s employment program.
