Assemblyman Dave
McDonough (R,C,I-Merrick) announced today he will be hosting
a blood drive in support of Long Island Blood Services. The blood drive will be
on Thursday, February 28, 2:15 p.m. to 8:15
p.m. at the American Legion Post 1749, 1298
Newbridge Road, North Bellmore.
“Blood banks are always looking for
donors, and your support today can save someone’s life tomorrow,” said
McDonough. “Without the generous support of concerned residents, our hospitals
would be facing an even greater blood shortage. Through your donation we can
better the lives of those in our community, both young and old. I am proud to
host this event with Long Island Blood Services.”
Long Island Blood Services will
also be providing two tickets to an upcoming New York Mets game to donors.
To be a
donor you must:
- Bring valid photo or signature
identification,
- Weigh at least 110 lbs,
- Be age 16-75 (16-year-olds must
have parental permission, age 76 and over need doctor’s
note),
- Eat well and be hydrated prior to
appointment, and
- Not have gotten a tattoo within 12
months (unless applied in New Jersey).

The School board is a bunch of morons if they want to remove this designation! There were 0 problems…Read More like this when Malucci was in office, this new superintendent is a waste of space, money, and cares more about his own paycheck then our kids! Between school security, and now this, I motion that we get rid of that skell!

Bless you, Anthony. And though I know ultimately the "Judge" will have to be held…Read More accountable by a higher authority...those of us who do this work, have not forgotten nor will we allow the system to forget what her role in this travesity was.

Thank you for this wonderful article on a good man pushed to the brink. I appriciate the fact this…Read More came form the heart and did not hold back. As Sacristan at Cure of Ars, I had the pleasure of working with Dr. Rich (as I called him) for some time. He was a man of faith and a pleasure to see. Always with a smile and kind word, you would never know what was going on the way he acted. This was a wonderful and insightful article. It is heartbreaking to think that where there was once love between 2 people, things got to the point where one persons life was destroyed by those who could and did for no apparent reason other than having the ability to do so. God will have mercy on Dr. Rich and the ex-wife and "Judge" should pray for the same given their actions.
