Marlborough: American Red Cross blood drive

An American Red Cross holiday blood drive will be held Dec. 26, from 2:30 to 7:30 p.m., at the Marlborough Masonic Hall, Main & Newton streets.  This drive is open to the public and residents from all surrounding towns are invited to participate. Appointments are preferred, but walk-in donors are also welcome.  The Red Cross is hoping to collect at least 40 life-savings pints of blood at this drive. All donors will receive a free Wachusett Mountain ski lift, as well as a coupon good for a free appetizer or dessert courtesy of Chili’s Grill & Bar.
