Celebrate Valentine's Day by Giving Blood

Blood drive tops list of events going on today in Hamden.

-- Spring Glen Church hosts a blood drive today from 1:45 p.m. to 7:30 p.m. at the church, 1825 Whitney Ave. The severe winter has severely curtained donations so the demand is great. For more information, call-1-800-RED CROSS (1-800-733 2767).

-- Quinnipiac University hosts an exhibit about the making of the New Haven Holocaust Memorial now through the end of the month. The exhibit highlights the creation and upkeep of the memorial, as well as the life stories of Holocaust survivors.

These stories have been captured by young New Haven participants in the nationwide Adopt a Survivor Program, which aims to transfer the life experiences of Holocaust survivors to students.
