CALLING ALL LOCALS IN THE CHICAGO AREA - WE NEED BLOOD DONORS AT THE CITY HOSPITAL

I’m reaching out to everyone here—especially those with type A or O blood. We need people to step up and donate at the Chicago City Hospital (down in the OBGYN wing).
My mom was just discharged after being diagnosed with skin cancer and a suspicious thyroid tumor, and the problem is they don't have her specific blood type on hand right now.
I managed to round up a few friends today to go in and donate for her, but it makes me wonder how many other families are stuck in this exact spot. How many parents, or even little kids, are waiting on a miracle because the supply isn't there?
SO, TO EVERYONE LISTENING: PLEASE DONATE BLOOD.

(Sorry if this is the wrong thread.)

THANKS TO EVERYONE!

The hotel hosting my wedding (Admiral, VK) actually recommended I reach out to Jack from Cherokee. She handles all their wedding decor work, so they say she knows the venue inside and out—exactly how much floral arrangements we'll need and all those little details. I gave her a call, and she mentioned it would be fine if I just dropped by about a month before the big day. Has anyone here worked with her? I'd love to see some photos of her work. She seemed incredibly sweet and helpful over the phone...

I had a wedding at Admiral just two months ago. Jack did all the flowers, and honestly, I couldn't have been happier. Shoot me a private message and I'll send over some pictures. If you have any other questions, just ask.

I used Grafoart for all our wedding stationery—invitations, thank-you notes, table numbers, and menus. Honestly, I couldn't be happier. Susan was absolutely wonderful to work with. Huge thumbs up and a massive recommendation for Grafoart

Branka, James Smith43, and my crew are all set at Admiral. What dates are you guys looking at? Regarding the seating, I checked out those new chairs and they’re top-tier. They have those new covers available too, but honestly, I’m going without them—you really need to see them in person to compare the two. We went ahead and booked the Art Band from VK. They seem alright to me. Have any of you caught them live before? As for "Wedding Song," it feels a bit early for that, doesn't it? I'll be picking up the invitations in Djakov...
