                        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. |  |

                        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. |  |
