Blood drive coordinators and donors throughout the region are reporting that flu may be to blame for lack of donations and appointment cancellations. In order to beef up local supplies, a blood drive will be held in South Lake Tahoe on Monday, February 2 from noon to 6 p.m. at the Lake Tahoe Resort Hotel (the former Embassy Suites). BloodSource will be set up in the lobby level ball room. Blood donors will receive free validated parking from the hotel.

The Barton Memorial Hospital Auxiliary is hosting the blood drive.
