This is for Al and Fran Plyler and the others on this list who live here in the Washington, DC, area. Have been reading about folks who are trying to donate blood but can't because the blood banks are swamped with donors. If you're among this group, here is another way you can help: The Salvation Army needs food donations for the volunteers at the Pentagon. They are accepting the donations at The Sheraton Suites in Alexandria, 801 St. Asaph Street in old town Alexandria. They are asking for: muffins fruit water lunch bags loaves of bread luncheon meat Please feel free to forward this off list since they need a lot of supplies. I'm off to Old Town now.
