            House Resolution No. 201.

            A resolution to declare January 2016 as Blood Donor Month in the state of Michigan.

            Whereas, January has been recognized as National Blood Donor Month for over 40 years; and

            Whereas, Blood is traditionally in short supply during the winter months; and

            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 41,000 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 2016 as Blood Donor Month in the state of Michigan. We urge all citizens to observe this momentous occasion.
