For the Extra Credit assignment - Blood or Organ donation you must show me that you have given blood at the College's fall blood drive or you are participating in the national or state organ donation program.

Organ Donation
If you do not or cannot give blood, you can still earn extra credit by being an organ donor. Show me your driver's license if you are already a donor. If you are not a donor and wish to become one then go to the U. S. government website - Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA) and you can sign up there. There is another site at Donate Life New England. I will also accept blood marrow donation commitments.
