MARYSVILLE — The American Legion Post 178 Hall in Marysville will be hosting an open house and blood drive from 8:30 a.m. to 2:30 p.m. on Saturday, July 20.

The Puget Sound Blood Center is bringing its Bloodmobile to the first in what Marysville Legion members hope will become an annual series of blood drives at the Post 178 Hall.

Appointments for July 20 may be scheduled between 8:30-11 a.m. or noon to 2 p.m., since the Bloodmobile staff will be on a lunch break from 11 a.m. to noon, but Marysville Legion members will still be available to chat with visitors to the Post 178 Hall during that time.

The Post 178 Hall itself will remain open from 8:30 a.m. to 2:30 p.m., with no breaks in-between, for donors to check in and members of the public to visit with Marysville Legion members.

Schedule your July 20 blood donation appointment by calling the Puget Sound Blood Center at 1-800-398-7888, option 2, or emailing DonorSched@psbc.org.

The American Legion Post 178 Hall is located at 119 Cedar Ave, and at corner of Second Street and Cedar Avenue, in Marysville. For more information, log onto www.facebook.com/events/147190972137522.
