CLINTON--The American Red Cross issued an emergency need for eligible individuals of all blood types to give now and help save patient lives.

“Summer means vacations, and we know that there are fewer people donating blood during these months,” said VFW 9918 Post Commander Sheldon Potesak. “We hope Clinton residents can make time to come to our blood drive.”
