	City of West Chicago to Host Heartland Blood Center's Blood Drive Wednesday, July 11, 2007 4:30 p.m. - 8:00 p.m. City Hall - Council Chambers 475 Main Street West Chicago, Illinois: June 20, 2007 - The City of West Chicago has once again been approached by Heartland Blood Centers with a request for help coordinating a summer blood drive. Summertime can be a challenging collection period for blood centers nationwide. Blood inventory levels may be reduced due to sluggish donations surrounding the July 4th holiday, school closings and vacations that keep many donors from giving blood. For this reason, the City of West Chicago will be hosting a city-wide blood drive for Heartland Blood Centers on Wednesday, July 11, 2007 from 4:30 p.m. - 8:00 p.m. at City Hall's Council Chambers, 475 Main Street. As a special 'thank you' for donating blood for others less fortunate, all blood donors will receive a MOOLA card pre-loaded with a free quart of Oberweis ice cream, compliments of Heartland Blood Centers. This card can be redeemed at any Oberweis storefront. A Donor Qualification Guide may be viewed at www.heartlandbc.org. Please call Rosemary Mackey at the City of West Chicago at (630) 293-2200 extension 139 to schedule an appointment for a blood donation . ###
