Phi Theta Kappa will host its blood drive on March 26 beginning at 11 a.m. until 3 p.m.

The blood drive was brought to Sinclair Community College by Community College Blood. They are giving away a baseball themed t-shirts that say “Take Me Out to the Blood-Drive” to anyone who registers to donate blood between March 24 through May 3. Food will also be provided to donors, and they can also receive a bonus t-shirt until they run out.

To register and schedule, donors should visit donortime.com with the donor sponsor code 177.

“Volunteer blood donors save lives,” Amy Cotterman, the blood drive captain at Sinclair said. “Each pint of donated blood can save up to three lives.”

Walk-ins are accepted, however if slots are filled they will be asked to reschedule. If donors would like to come at a specific time, they should schedule beforehand.

Cotterman said donors should be hydrated and prepared before donating.

Phi Theta Kappa will also host its officer elections, open to members. There are two slots available for each position, which includes president, vice president of hallmark, vice president of membership, PR chair and a secretary. If members are interested in running, they should pick up an application in the Honors office, in Building 10, Room 339. They will be asked to write a personal bio and an essay stating why they are interesting in running for the position. On April 8, Phi Theta Kappa will host an open house, where members can meet the candidates. Members can vote for the officers on April 16 by filling out the ballot on Angel or in the Honors office. The officers will be announced on April 19.
