Tuesday, Nov. 6, is the day that the MEDIC Bloodmobile will visit the Tusculum
College campus (Niswonger Commons) in this year's Blood Drive Bowl competition with Carson-Newman College.
Collection hours Tuesday are 9 a.m. to 6 p.m.

Blood may also be donated today toward the competition through a blood collection
under way at the Greeneville K-Mart store from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m.  Wal-Mart will be
the site for a similar blood collection on Friday, 10 a.m. to 6 p.m.

On Thursday, the Bloodmobile will visit the Morristown Tusculum College site (420
West Morris) from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m.

All donors will receive a tee-shirt, exemption from blood supplier processing fees
at all US hospitals for themselves and their IRS dependents for a year after the
donation, and the satisfaction of helping Tusculum College collect more blood than
our rival Carson-Newman.  Refreshments for donors  are being provided at all sites
by MEDIC.

The winner of the Blood Drive Bowl will be announced Saturday at halftime of the
TC/Carson-Newman football game, to kicked off at Carson-Newman at 1 p.m.

Tusculum personnel in the Knoxville area may donate to the Blood Drive Bowl through
this week at the MEDIC headquarters at 1601 Ailor Avenue between 8:30 a.m. and 6:30
p.m. weekdays.

Thanks for your support of Tusculum College in the Blood Drive  Bowl, and in
particular, your support of MEDIC as it seeks to meet our region's blood needs.

A negative, O positive and O negative blood types are especially needed at present,
MEDIC is reporting.

Because of the way blood is separated and used, one donation can save up to three
lives.
