58th Straight Red Cross Blood Drive on Friday April 25th

Our 58th straight monthly Red Cross Blood Drive at the VFW is scheduled for Friday, April 25th between 11am-4pm.  This event is a crucial effort to support our community’s healthcare needs and save lives through blood donations. Blood donations are essential to hospitals and medical facilities, helping patients in critical need of transfusions due to surgeries, accidents, and medical conditions. Your generous contribution can make a significant impact and contribute to the well-being of those in our community.  A recent study, published in the American Journal of Epidemiology, found that people who donated blood had a significant lower risk of suffering a heart attack!

Event Details:
Date: Friday, April 25th
Time: 11am-4pm
Location: VFW Post 399, 465 Riverside Ave, Westport CT

Participation is open to all community members who are eligible to donate blood. The process is safe, and precautions will be taken to ensure the health and safety of donors and staff, following all necessary COVID-19 guidelines. Donating blood is a noble and life-saving act. Don’t forget to schedule your appointment in advance if you plan to donate!

Donors are encouraged to schedule their appointments in advance to help manage the flow of participants. For appointment, please visit WWW.REDCROSSBLOOD.ORG – use sponsor code: VFWWESTPORT or call 1-800-733-2767

John Basile is an accomplished jazz guitarist and composer known for his soulful melodic playing, sophisticated harmonic sense, and deep conversational approach to improvisation.

As an accompanist he has worked with Peggy Lee, Sylvia Sims, Rosemary Clooney and Tony Bennett’s as well as live and recorded performances with contemporary instrumentalists George Mraz, Michael Becker, Tom Harrell, Eddie Gomez, John Abercrombie and Red Mitchell to name just a few.

Basile has released 11 highly acclaimed solo releases showcasing his prowess as both a composer and player. His latest release “Satisfied”, is an organ trio in the tradition of the great guitar/organ combinations in the past

Musically John’s guitar style utilizes a finger-style technique that approaches the guitar like a piano, comping chord fragments and playing melodies simultaneously. He demonstrates a conversational approach to improvising by weaving sophisticated single lines above a sparse harmonic landscape – all with a deeply swinging approach.
