Make an appointment now for the Nov. 2 blood drive planned by the Wayne State University Alumni Association to benefit the American Red Cross.

The blood drive will be held from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. in the Alumni Lounge, 441 Ferry Mall. The event is co-sponsored by the Detroit Institute for Children.

Although it is an Alumni Association program, participants need not have graduated from WSU to roll up their sleeves and give a pint. All faculty, staff, students and friends of the University are invited to take part.

To make an appointment for donating blood, call Alumni House at (313) 577-2300.
