Donating blood is an act of kindness and love and one way to celebrate Valentine’s Day!

Diversity amongst donors is critical for patients needing on-going blood transfusions and giving blood in February is great way to honor African-American History Month (or Black History month)

Can’t make it to this site? We have lots of other convenient locations. Please sign up for the Mariners pop-up or another pop-up or at a center near you by using this link: https://dslnk.co/Zone5Bloodworks

Your donation could put you in the driver’s seat! When you donate blood with Bloodworks between now and March 17, you will automatically be entered for a chance to win a car! The lucky winner will have their choice among 9 pre-selected new vehicles from Haselwood Auto Group. More info at www.bloodworksnw.org/winacar

As an added benefit (during the month of February) all donors will automatically be tested for covid-19 antibodies and results mailed within 2 weeks of your donation.

Masks are required at all donation sites. To ensure social distancing, appointments are also required. Walk-ins, guests or anyone under 16 years of age are (unfortunately) not permitted. Have questions or need help booking an appointment? Please call 1-800-398-7888 or e-mail gro.wnskrowdoolb|eludehcs#gro.wnskrowdoolb|eludehcs

Giving blood during the pandemic is a safe and essential action. For more info on how Bloodworks is keeping donors and staff safe, by abiding by all CDC, FDA and WA State Department of Health guidelines please visit: https://www.bloodworksnw.org/about/news/coronavirus

Donors must wait 2 weeks after each COVID-19 vaccination dose for their next blood donation appointment. If you recently received a flu shot, there is no wait to donate.

The Seattle Glee Clubs has been in existence for 25 years. We have rehearsed in West Seattle for over 11 years. We have had various singing and musical theater subgroups and currently have two: the Seattle Metropolitan Singers (The Met)and the Offbeats. The Met is a group of women of all ages singing as a chorus. The Offbeats are a vocal jazz ensemble with mixed voices. We rehearse from September through May, and perform concerts from October through June. We also sing at retirement communities, community centers, and The Great Figgy Pudding Caroling Competition to benefit Pike Place Senior Center. In addition to bringing music into the lives of our community, we support other local nonprofits benefitting women and children such as Mary’s Place and LifeWire by collecting donations at our concerts.

We are looking for space for up to 35 people to rehearse on Tuesday and Thursday nights from 6:30 – 9:30 pm. There may be occasions when additional evenings might be needed. We are also looking for secure storage for file cabinets of music, amplifiers, microphones and other accessory equipment.

We have been taking the next few months to find just the right fit for our organization. We are looking to forge a long-term relationship with a corporate sponsor, church, school, performance space or warehouse that would be willing to offer us a very low rate of rent for a tax write-off. Promotion of the corporate sponsor through our members, website, and concert programs would be one of the benefits.

More information about the Seattle Glee Clubs can be found on our website www.seattlegleeclubs.org.

I look forward to your reply and the possibility of creating a relationship with a local entity for a mutually benefitting proposal.

Sincerely,

Phyllis Jantz

Board Vice President and Seattle Metropolitan Singers member
