LifeSouth Community Blood Centers are in need of all blood types.  After last Friday’s declaration of an emergency blood shortage, donors’ response to the news across the region has been encouraging; however, the blood inventory continues to hover at emergency levels.

LifeSouth urges all eligible donors who are feeling healthy to come out and support their communities by donating blood as soon as possible. Donors must be 17 or older, or 16 with parental permission, weigh a minimum of 110 pounds and be in good health. A photo ID is also required.

LifeSouth is hosting two blood drived in Dothan today:

• Southeast Alabama Medical Center from 8 a.m. until 3 p.m.
• City of Dothan/Dothan Civic Center from 8:30 a.m.

The Dothan Police Department is co-sponsoring a child safety seat clinic at Our New Baby on Wednesday, January 30th from 1 until 3 p.m.  Our New Baby is located at 3119 Ross Clark Circle

More than one-half of all the child car safety seats in use today are installed and/or used incorrectly without parents realizing it. Bring your child safety seat by to be inspected by members of the Dothan Police Department Trained & Certified by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration on Child Passenger Safety.

For questions you may contact Tonja Shelley at 334-615-3617.
