Community Blood Services would like to thank LoDan, a division of Emerson Network Power of St. Louis, Missouri, for hosting a blood drive on June 17, 2002 at its Totowa , NJ facility. LoDan, a state of the art optical assembly facility, had 30 of its employees come out and donate blood. Michael Lawson, the company's operations manager who served as coordinator of the drive, wanted to show LoDan's commitment to the community by encouraging his staff to donate blood and save lives. Mr. Lawson had read about the blood shortage crisis and felt there was no reason why corporations like his own could not take the time to help those in need. Any company interested in setting up a similar blood drive can call Diane Beale, recruitment manager, at 201-251-3715.
Anthony DiSpaltro, manager of the Stop & Shop next door to Community Blood Services in Paramus, greets Bernie the Blood Drop. DiSpaltro joined Bernie in an effort to alert the public to the ongoing blood shortage and to encourage his employees and shoppers to take the time to donate blood.
