District 75 hosting a community blood drive in Mundelein

Mundelein School District 75 is hosting a community blood drive from 2 to 7 p.m., Tuesday, Feb. 19 at the district office, 470 N. Lake St., Mundelein.

The blood drive is to honor kindergarten teacher, Kristen Meister, who was diagnosed with stage 4 colon cancer in August 2018. In late November, CT scans showed her cancer was gone to minimally visible. It also honors other teachers who have had serious health issues this past year. To schedule an appointment, call Yuli at (847) 949-2700 or visit www.versiti.org. Walk-ins are welcome to schedule an open time slot on the day of the blood drive. All attempting donors will receive a limited edition pair of "R U MY Type" socks, while supplies last, as a thank you.
