House Resolution No. 176.

Whereas, Few blood centers can maintain more than a three-day supply of blood for transfusions; and
Whereas, Every two seconds someone in America needs blood, and approximately 40,000 units of red blood are needed every day; and
Whereas, Donating blood is a safe, life-saving and selfless gift that enhances the level of preparedness for each and every community in this nation; now, therefore, be it
Resolved by the House of Representatives, That the members of this legislative body declare January 2012 as Blood Donor Month in the state of Michigan. We urge all citizens to recognize and observe this occasion.
