Alva Walmart is starting off the new year by saving lives through blood donation with Oklahoma Blood Institute (OBI).
All healthy adults, 16 and older* are encouraged to donate blood 1 p.m. to 6 p.m., Friday, January 7, at 914 E. Oklahoma Boulevard.
Blood donors at the Alva Walmart blood drive will receive a pair of OBI fleece gloves and free health screenings.
“With the start of a new year and unanticipated weather, blood donations typically decline in the winter months,” said John Armitage, Oklahoma Blood Institute president and CEO. “But the need for blood is constant, and patients in our community count on volunteer donors to fulfill that need.”
All OBI donors are also encouraged to download OBI’s free iPhone app. With the GiVE BLOOD app, donors can count down until their next donation, find the nearest OBI blood donation location and make an appointment. All donors who show they have downloaded the GiVE BLOOD app will receive a free iPhone cover.

Freaks and Geeks: The Paley Center for Media announced four of its honorees for the upcoming PaleyFest 2011: True Blood, The Walking Dead, American Idol, and Freaks and Geeks and Undeclared, which will be “jointly honored on one special evening.” Best. The rest of the line-up will be announced in January, and the fest itself takes place in March. Ah, plenty of time to save up $1,200 for the full pass!
The Freaks and Geeks/Undeclared panel sounds particularly thrilling — Judd Apatow, Jason Segel, Seth Rogen, and Martin Starr on the same stage? Yes, please. Freaks launched the careers of both bona fide drama stars (James Franco) and some of the biggest comedy stars (Rogen), plus the variety of subsequent TV projects from the cast is astounding.
