Tomorrow, Groundhog Day, there will be another community blood drive at the Columbia Metropolitan Convention Center.
I can’t give, because it’s too soon after the last time. But you probably can. And of course, since I can’t do it this time, they’re giving away cool free stuff:
• A free American Red Cross Lifesavers t-shirt
• A free pound of Starbucks coffee
• A chance to win a pair of Delta Air Lines tickets
OK, so I’m jealous. But truth be told, last time around I managed to get my mitts on two rather nice long-sleeved T-shirts.
But the best reward is knowing that you’ve addressed the chronic shortage of life-giving blood in the Midlands.
The event will take place from 7 a.m. to 6 p.m. To make an appointment, call 1-800-733-2767.
Tell them I sent you — in my place.

By the way, folks — this had a happy ending:
“This year’s event was a great success, with 317 pints of blood collected on a goal of 300. Last year’s inaugural drive resulted in 210 pints of blood collected on a goal of 200.”
