Monday - 6/11
	Joint Chemical, Biological, Radiological and Nuclear Conference Contact Customer Administrative Account bethw@visitpulaskicounty.org
12:00 PM	American Red Cross Blood Drive http://www.redcrossblood.org/ Contact American Red Cross 1-800-733-2767 Waynesville First Baptist Church 202 North Benton Street Waynesville, MO 65583 Shake, Rattle and Roll into a Red Cross blood drive May 22-July 31 and you'll be eligible to win a Gibson guitar, courtesy of The Gibson Foundation. In addition, you'll receive a rock and roll themed t-shirt. As a special incentive for our young donors, anyone aged 16-21 can enter to win a $5,000 scholarship! Because blood has a 42-day shelf life, it is important to keep a continual blood supply on hand. The need for blood not only arises after a catastrophe, but is constantly needed for surgeries and accident victims (where a single vehicle accident can use up to 100 pints of blood), as well as for cancer patients and those undergoing dialysis. Under normal circumstances, every two seconds someone in America will need a blood transfusion. But, less than 5 percent of the eligible population actually donates blood. You or someone you know is likely to need blood at some point in your life. When you, your family member or your loved one has medical trouble, you want to know that there will be enough blood to treat them. We all know you can’t schedule emergencies, so donating is a way to pay forward to give in advance. Even with all the worlds’ sophisticated medical technology, there is still no substitute for human blood. So even though the number of donor’s declines the need remains constant. You can donate blood every 56 days, which is 6 times a year. A single blood donation can save the lives of up to three people.
5:00 PM	Taking Off Pounds Sensibly (TOPS) Contact Pulaski County Health Department or TOPS 573-793-6782 or 1-800-932-8677 Take Off Pounds Sensibly is a weight loss support group. Weigh-in is from 5-6pm, meeting is 6-7pm.
