Mobile Blood Drive at Thermo Fisher Scientific-Plant
Feb 2 @ 10:00 am – 5:00 pm
Thermo Fisher Scientific-Plant

Your blood is going to someone who really needs it. To get it there is a process. It takes a team; our phlebotomists collect the blood, our couriers bring it to our headquarters for processing, our lab techs process it, and our couriers then deliver the products to our hospitals. Once they’re there, lives are saved.

Cupid Crew: Valentine Making Event
Feb 2 @ 2:00 pm – 3:00 pm
online

We could all use a little TLC this year. Cheer yourself up by spreading the love this Valentine’s Day. Join NC card-making artist Margaret Cogswell for a virtual valentine-making event. Participants will be guided through a basic card-making technique that can be used for all kinds of cards. Participants will also learn more about the “cupid crew,” a group who makes sure a card you create gets to people in long-term care who really need a pick-me-up. We look forward to creating and spreading the love with you!

If you choose to make cards with us, you will need the following supplies:

  • heavy card stock- 81/2” x 11”, Valentine colors- solids and/or patterned- 8-12 sheets
  • glue stick
  • decorative paper with Valentine colors and patterns
  • scissors
  • scrap sheets of paper to use as a gluing surface and to make templates
  • ruler
  • pencil and eraser
  • red, black and white gel pen
  • envelopes for your cards- example: 4 3/8” x 5 3/4” or 5 1/4” x 7 1/4”
  • Optional- heart shaped paper punches

If you choose not to make cards, you can learn more about the cupid-crew and print a downloadable card here.
