Summer Musical Spring Awakening @ Bishop Center for Performing Arts
Jul 23 @ 2:00 pm
Summer Musical Spring Awakening @ Bishop Center for Performing Arts | Aberdeen | Washington | United States

With an electrifying score that swings from folk to rock, Spring Awakening follows the unforgettable journey of a group of students in late 19th century Germany as they move from adolescence into adulthood. Facing both the devastation and the wonder of sexuality and self-discovery, the characters navigate through their coming-of-age despite parents and authority figures who are intent on withholding information and suppressing thought and expression. Adapted from Frank Wedekinds 1891 expressionist play about the trials, tears, and exhilaration of the teen years, which was banned in its time, this modern masterpiece is an exhilarating fusion of morality, sexuality and rock & roll. PARENTAL DISCRETION ADVISED-Sexual Themes, Strong Language

Summit Pacific’s Summer Blood Drive @ Summit Pacific Medical Center Parking Lot, Bloodmobile
Jul 25 @ 10:00 am – 4:00 pm

Don’t take a vacation from donating blood! Summer at Bloodworks Northwest is a tough one as they typically see a sharp downturn in blood donations – 15% fewer people are donating due to holidays, vacations and nicer weather. It is incredibly difficult to generate enough donations during this time of year, yet the need for blood never takes a vacation.

Questions about eligibility? Contact our clinical specialist at ClinicalP@BloodWorksNW.org or call (206) 292-2543.

***When you donate, please remember to eat a good meal, drink plenty of water, and bring a photo I.D. ***

An Advance Directive is a written statement of your wishes regarding medical treatment, often including a living will, made to ensure those wishes are carried out should you be unable to communicate them. Advance Directives also ensure that your loved ones are not burdened with making stressful decisions.
