Heinlein Society Logo       The Heinlein Society is proud to be the volunteer sponsor of a Red Cross Blood Drive at Balticon!

This year, we again will be running the drive on Sunday, May 26, 2019. Signups can be done online through Saturday evening and then through walkups as first-come-first-served for remaining slots.

Here is the link to the Red Cross online signup. (Make sure you filter for the date and location range if it doesn't come up.)  We also really encourage you to use the RapidPass program as it saves you a lot of time with your donation history during your appointment.

Sign up now to reserve the best time for you around your con schedule!

Balticon 53 will be May 24-27, 2019 with the Blood Drive to be held on Sunday, May 26. Donation hours will be 10a.m. until 2:00 p.m. this year. Check Back for the room location here or at the Fan Table during Balticon.  Look for the Heinlein Society fan table on the Fifth Floor if you want to connect with us prior to the blood drive.

We had 26 people present to donate last year on Memorial Day--can you help us top that this year?

The Heinlein Society will also again have a "Heinlein For Heroes (H4H)" book drop off at this year's Balticon.  We will update information here or have it available at our information table at the convention.  Last year Balticon fans donated over 70 SF&F books for the enjoyment of our military and their families, a part of over 5,000 books we distributed nationwide last year!

Are you doing your "Spring Cleaning" right now?  Save those doubles and books you just don't have the space for anymore and bring them to the Heinlein Society table during Balticon...it's tax-deductible, just ask for a receipt on Sunday during the blood drive.

For more information about the H4H program see the link at the official Heinlein Society site.
