Blood drive will be held on Thursday

The Rhode Island Blood Center is hosting a blood drive on Thursday, June 21 from 3 to 8 p.m. at the Barrington Congregational Church, 461 County Road. Summers are a critical time for blood donations when businesses and schools are less likely to be holding drives. "It takes less than 20 minutes to donate, and your donation can save three lives," stated a recent release. All prospective donors must be feeling well and in good overall health.  Donations can be accepted from people as young as 16 years of age (with parental permission). Walk up registrations are welcome, but appointments made in advance are encouraged. To make an appointment, call 453-8383 or register online at ribc.org/drives, using donor code 1562.

The Barrington Town Council is looking for volunteers to serve on the board of assessment review (one vacancy); board of library trustees (one vacancy); committee on appropriations (one vacancy); housing board of trustees (six vacancies); park and recreation committee (one vacancy); planning board (one vacancy); and senior services advisory board (two vacancies). The opening on the park and recreation committee is for a high school representative. Applications for the board openings can be obtained at www.barrington.ri.gov or at the town clerk's office or at the library. The deadline to submit an application to the town clerk's office is July 25.
