Update from SaveMoonlight (myspace/savemoonlight)
I am just
gonna cut and paste this bad boy here -- and then ask everyone to
forward it around and around - blog it, bulletin it, post it in your
favorite lavatory, work cubicle, or telephone pole......get the word
out there!
I have gotten word that the Red Cross will be
working with YouChoose to set up a donor schedule online for The NY
ComicCon so there isn't a wait.....God Bless them! When the information
becomes available we will get it to you as fast as immortally possible.

Some housekeeping issues to take at hand.
#1
– The New York ComicCon has announced on their website that Alex
O’Loughlin and Jason Dohring will be at the event. My understanding
from the website is that there will be a Moonlight Panel on Sunday.
Please go to the NY ComicCon website for more information. I cannot
stress to you enough that Alex and Jason will be IN the building and
the blood drives will be OUTSIDE the buildings. If you are coming to
New York to see Alex and Jason then you must purchase ComicCon tickets
and go to the event inside. I would only hope that if you are diehard
enough of a fan to come to New York to see Alex and Jason that you
would also be diehard enough to come to the blood drive outside and
donate.
#2 – Huge
heartfelt thanks and hugs to Marco of 258 West for allowing Moonlight
to participate in his annual blood drive at the NY ComicCon. Please, if
you are on site to donate and show your support please extend the love
that all Moonlight fans are so well known for and thank Marco for
allowing this. This is his baby and he works very hard every year to
make this a success, and as a fellow Moonlight fan he has extended the
olive branch that has allowed our participation at such a wonderful
event.
Please check out Marco’s store at www. 258west. com .
#3
– Last, and most certainly NOT the least -- Please show Moonlight love
and support to Christine whose immortal vampire spirit has worked so
tirelessly to see that this whole nationwide campaign came to fruition.
I can say from the bottom of my undead heart that she has put her
immortal soul into this.
Without Christine and YouChoose. net none of this would have been possible on such a large scale.
Now enough of the love fest ---
On to other things you want and NEED to know about the National Moonlight Blood Drive!!
So you can’t get to New York or Philadelphia – no worries – we have you covered….
Go to YouChoose. net (Campaign, Moonlight Season 2) and print out a Donor Verification form.
Then go to www. givelife. org
and find a donor site near you. Take the form with you to the site,
donate your hard earned hemoglobin (blood), get the form stamped with
your donor number, and send it back to the address listed on the form.
Simple as that!
You
just recently got a jail house tattoo or you have some other condition
that prevents you from donating blood, or perhaps you’re just not much
of “needle” person --- no worries my friends we have you covered there
too.
Go to YouChoose. net
(Campaign, Moonlight Season 2) and make a monetary donation, print a
donor verification form, write the amount of the donation where the
donor verification number would go, attach the receipt for your
donation, and mail it to the address listed on the form.
You
were out for an afternoon stroll and wandered into a Moonlight Blood
Drive….stranger things have happened….No problem! There will be donor
verification forms available ON SITE! Simply get a form from a
volunteer, bleed for the Red Cross, get the form stamped, and send it
to the address indicated.
So why all the stamping, sending, and receipt attaching?
Simple.
Every verification form that gets returned counts towards our cause of
saving Moonlight. The numbers will be tallied and given to the powers
that be so they know we were out there and they know that we are
willing to give our BLOOD to save our show.
One
more added bonus – every person who returns a stamped verification form
or a receipt attached to a verification form is eligible to purchase a
limited edition, one of a kind Moonlight Blood Drive T-shirt for the
bargain price of $10. (I haven’t seen the shirts – but I’ve heard the
buzz…..and the buzz is good!)
Anyone who makes a blood donation or monetary donation between <..> NOW and April 26th is eligible to receive the T-shirt.
Thank
you so much MaryBeth from YouChoose for tolerating every single one of
my questions to get all the information together for the fans! You’re
the best – truly truly everyone she is AWESOME! I encourage everyone,
when the dust settles on this campaign, to go to YouChoose and look for
more great efforts to become involved in.
As always - for more information go to MoonlightBloodDrive. org or YouChoose. net (Campaign, Moonlight Season 2).
Stay tuned - because this thing has a life of it's own......it's growing, and growing, and growing..................
Stop reading – it’s done….
GO DONATE! Why are you still here?
See ya in NYC and Philly……Fight for your right to Vamp out on Friday nights!
