A group of local celebrities; city, county,
and state officials; Albina Ministerial Alli­
ance representatives, including President
Rev. Joe Hardie; youth and community
members will celebrate Dr. K ing's birth­
day in a special way this year — by giving
blood, the gift of life.
On Monday, January 15,1990, special
guests, including Mayor Bud Clark, C on­
gressman Ron Wyden, Multnomah County
Commissioner Gladys McCoy, and City
Commissioner Dick Bogle, will attend the
first-ever King memorial blood drive held
at a community site. Sponsored by the
Albina Ministerial Alliance, the American
Red Cross blood drive will be held at the
O.B. Williams Convention Center, 220 NE
Beech St., in Portland, from 10:30 a.m. to 3
p.m. A commemoration ceremony featur­
ing tributes and music will preceed the
drive, starting at 9 a.m.
According to the AMA’s President,
Rev. Joe Hardie, blood drive sponsor, any­
one who is 17 years old, weighs at least 110
pounds and is in good health, should come
to the drive and give of themselves. “ Giv­
ing blood is one of the easiest ways we can
save lives,” he explains. "W hat better
tribute to Dr. King could we offer?”
The donation process takes less than an
hour and refreshments will be provided to
donors. All blood donors will be given the
opportunity to sign commemorative schrolls
being sent to Coretta Scott King at the King
Center in Atlanta, GA. Sign up at your
church, or call AMA’s Christine Robinson,
285-0493, to make an appointment.
