SUMMARY:Blood Drive @ Jumu'ah
DESCRIPTION:As people of faith\, it is in our blood to help. Be part of a lifesaving journey to save up to three lives with a 15-minute blood donation. \nThe MCC community has saved nearly 350 lives! This is our 23rd blood drive during Jumu’ah. Each blood drive has always been fully booked or near-fully booked! \nLet’s continue that trajectory at this blood drive and keep all our American Red Cross guests busy when they set up in our Banquet Hall from 10:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. on a Friday. Sign up at: https://mcceastbay.org/blood-drive \nIn 2023\, MCC will proudly host these quarterly blood drives during Jumuah services from 10:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. with our friends at the American Red Cross: \n\nFriday\, March 3\, 2023\nFriday\, June 2\, 2023\nFriday\, September 1\, 2023\nFriday\, December 1\, 2023\n\n[fusion_button link=”https://mcceastbay.org/blood-drive” text_transform=”” title=”” target=”_self” link_attributes=”” alignment=”” modal=”” hide_on_mobile=”small-visibility\,medium-visibility\,large-visibility” class=”” id=”” color=”default” button_gradient_top_color=”” button_gradient_bottom_color=”” button_gradient_top_color_hover=”” button_gradient_bottom_color_hover=”” accent_color=”” accent_hover_color=”” type=”” bevel_color=”” border_width=”” size=”” stretch=”default” shape=”” icon=”” icon_position=”left” icon_divider=”no” animation_type=”” animation_direction=”left” animation_speed=”0.3″ animation_offset=””]Book An Appointment[/fusion_button] \nA Power Red donation targets O-\, O+\, A-\, and B- only. The donation process takes an additional 20-30 minutes because donors give two units of concentrated Red Blood Cells\, and your platelets and plasma are returned. \nBlood donors report feeling a sense of great satisfaction after making their blood donation. Why? Because helping others in need just feels good. \nIf you have visited India\, Pakistan\, or another high-risk malaria country and returned within the last 12 months\, you are not eligible to donate blood. \nEvery person who donates blood at MCC in 2023 will receive a voucher for a free meal at iniBurger – Gourmet Burgers in Pleasanton. These vouchers are generously donated by MCC congregation members Leeza and Abdullah Popal\, who own these establishments\, to encourage community and congregation participation. \nMCC Youth: If you are 16 to 18\, here is the donor requirements and parental authorization form link. \nOn the morning of the blood drive\, please complete the Rapid Pass online and bring the print-off to speed up the check-in process. Complete at https://mcceastbay.org/rapid \n[fusion_button link=”https://mcceastbay.org/blood-drive” text_transform=”” title=”” target=”_self” link_attributes=”” alignment=”” modal=”” hide_on_mobile=”small-visibility\,medium-visibility\,large-visibility” class=”” id=”” color=”default” button_gradient_top_color=”” button_gradient_bottom_color=”” button_gradient_top_color_hover=”” button_gradient_bottom_color_hover=”” accent_color=”” accent_hover_color=”” type=”” bevel_color=”” border_width=”” size=”” stretch=”default” shape=”” icon=”” icon_position=”left” icon_divider=”no” animation_type=”” animation_direction=”left” animation_speed=”0.3″ animation_offset=””]Save a Life[/fusion_button]

He was born in Herat\, Afghanistan and immigrated with his family to America during the Russian invasion of Afghanistan in 1985. After graduating from American High School and Chabot College he attended San Francisco State University where he majored in history.  \n\n\n\nHe grew up in a household with a deep love and reverence for poetry. At the age of five he began to memorize poems by Rumi and other great poets. His love of poetry continued to grow and eventually developed into a passion and calling that would allow him to teach regular classes on Rumi throughout California\, the U.S.\, U.K.\, Canada\, Australia\, Malaysia\, Germany and even as far as Konya\, Turkey\, where Mawlana Rumi is laid to rest. The nuances of the Farsi language\, in which he is fluent\, allows him the unique ability to bring Rumi’s poetry to life and to help listeners recognize Rumi’s essential message of peace\, love\, coexistence\, and connection with the Divine. He is the author and performer of “Layla & Majnun” play produced by Performing Lines in Perth Australia.  \n\n\n\nUstadh Feraidoon spends his free time reading\, studying\, and lecturing on many topics including Rumi and a wide collection of Farsi poetry\, spirituality\, and self-development. He currently lives with his wife and two children in Dublin\, California. \n\n\n\nMore Sidi Feridoon: https://mcceastbay.org/feraidoon
