Carlyle High School National Honor Society plans to host their annual fall Red Cross

blood drive on Oct. 14 from 8:30 a.m. to 1:30 p.m. in the Carlyle High School Harriss

Gymnasium.

Donors can schedule an appointment in advance with an NHS member or arrive during

the drive to donate. They can also complete any prereading and donation questions online using

Rapid Pass.

Donors may give blood every 56 days, up to six times a year. All potential donors must

be in good health and feeling well, be at least 16 years old, and weigh at least 110 lbs. A full list

of requirements can be found on the Red Cross website.
