Lewiston-Auburn Rotary clubs will sponsor Jan. 11 blood drive

Dec. 132017

LEWISTON — The Lewiston-Auburn Rotary Lunch Club and the Auburn-Lewiston Rotary Breakfast Club will sponsor a blood drive from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. Thursday, Jan. 11, in partnership with the Lewiston CareerCenter, 5 Mollison Way.

April Caron, business development manager for American Red Cross Blood Services of Northern New England Region, serving Maine, will facilitate the event.

Every two seconds, someone in the U.S. needs a blood transfusion, Caron noted, adding the Maine team works hard to ensure blood is available to patients in need. In addition to collecting blood, the Red Cross provides disaster relief, service to the armed forces, preparedness health and safety services, and international social services.

Caron also serves as an adviser with the Olympia Snowe Women’s Leadership Institute at Oxford Comprehensive High School. She is a member of Southern Mid Coast and Lewiston Metropolitan chambers of commerce and is a past recipient of the Maine Women’s Network — Androscoggin County Chapter member-of-the-year award.

Reservations are not required for the Rotary luncheon, which will be held at the CareerCenter.
