Inter Society Council Sponsors Blood Drive
The Inter Society Council is sponsoring a blood drive on Tuesday, September 25, in the Hamilton's Annex. In the first two hours for signing up the drive was filled to capacity. As has been the case across the country, the American Red Cross has had to turn people away because they cannot handle the overwhelming response. Hamilton College is encouraging its students to take part in the upcoming blood drives in the community as well as future blood drives that will be held on campus, including one on November 28.
