Warner Robins, GA — The American Red Cross collected 32 pints of blood from Robins Federal Credit Union employees, members, and members of the community at a blood drive held on Thursday, July 17th at Robins Federal Credit Union.

Each unit of blood has the ability to save up to three lives. That means the blood collected at Robins Federal Credit Union’s semi-annual blood drive has the potential to save 96 lives.

The American Red Cross recently issued a state of emergency notice due to dwindling blood supplies. Natural disasters across the state of Georgia have contributed to the low supply. To find a donation location, please visit the American Red Cross website.

Mayor Randy Toms says those conducting a traffic study for the intersection of Moody Road and Leisure Lake Drive are asking for an extension, one council members are willing to grant.

Some say it's one of Warner Robins' more dangerous intersections

Warner Robins Council met Monday night, and all members agreed to give Wolverton and Associates more time.

Toms says Wolverton and Associates will start on August fifth in order to include school traffic and get accurate results.

"They asked for a couple more weeks so that they could incorporate some more of the school. They want to get the study done during the time when people are in school because that increases the traffic," said Toms.

Mayor Toms says all other terms of the contract with Wolverton remains the same.
