As posted in the schenectadynyreusitcom website: Hi everyone... I just got home from doing my errands, I was on the crosstown (rt 7) Crosstown Plaza. I seen signs by American Red Cross that there is an Urgent need for blood. Its been 30 years since I've given blood, but I took a moment to do it. I figured it was really needed to be classified Urgent. Especially with the storms rolling through down south. It really only took 15- 20 minutes from the first I walked in the door till I walked out the door. I had walked in about 5 minutes after they closed, I felt terrible I held everyone up from going home because they went ahead _ took me anyway. The Place was very clean. The workers very professional, caring and appreciative. Please take a few moments from your day. It could possible mean somebodies life.
