The Essex County Friendly Sons of the Shillelagh and The Celtic Sisters are pleased to announce the 7th Annual Frank Schott Memorial Blood Drive will be held at the Shillelagh Club at 648 Prospect Avenue in West Orange on Sunday, Nov. 24, from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m.
The Schott Blood Drive is in memory of the late Frank Schott, former chief of the Orange Fire Department.
The Blood Drive collected more than 125 pints of blood last year and has become a major event for the NJ Blood Bank. The NJ Blood Center has reported that blood supplies are lower than ever this year and that this years drive is needed more than ever to replenish supplies as we head into the Holiday Season.
