Teamsters Generous in Donating Blood in 2004-2005

You can help, too!
First, let me say how proud we are of our members who took the time to donate blood this year. We only have the list of those members who donated to the Central Illinois Community Blood Center. To those members who donated elsewhere around the state, you are much appreciated as well.

I encourage you to think about becoming a blood donor. It takes less than half an hour every few weeks. It’s a small contribution and you can truly save a life. If you want more information, contact your local blood bank.

Thank you!
Tony Barr
