 Would you rather pay $650 or $66 for a smart phone? Simple. With the Appalachian Advantage plan, pay less upfront, and then just a few dollars more every month. Better service, bigger savings. That's today's Appalachian Wireless. For the Kentucky Blood Center, 9-11 is a time to remember and commemorate a long-standing tradition between donors and the need to save lives. Thursday we spoke with Vice President External Relations Mandy Braja about their blood drive this weekend. Yeah, so everyone is likely aware that Saturday is the 20th anniversary of the attacks on America on September 11th. And since that time, we have been annually honoring people who came out and gave blood in hopes after immediately after the attacks of helping survivors that may need blood products. Of course, we realized very soon that wasn't going to be the case. But the spirit of which people came out, rolled up their sleeves, we've honored every year on the state. And because this is a monumentally anniversary, we wanted to kind of make a big deal, applaud those people who've been coming out throughout the years, and then hopefully invite someone to become a blood donor for the first time. It doesn't take a tragedy to encourage folks to roll up their sleeves, but it's sort of that spirit of remembrance that hopefully will allow people to come out and become blood donors. To become a donor, you can visit the Kentucky Blood Center at 472 South Mayo Trail Pikeville, Kentucky from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. Friday and 8 a.m. to 2 p.m. Saturday. Donors must be 16 years or older with the parent's permission. For Mountaintop News, I'm Joel Courgel.
