Marrow Drive in Guam on April 19 and April 20

We've mentioned marrow drives in Guam before, but these two will introduce the use of cheek swabs rather than blood samples. Pacific News Center gives the date and location as April 19 and 20, at the Guam Premier Outlets; KUAM News provides more details about the procedure and offers Dr. Thomas Shieh's phone number of 648-2229 for those who would like to learn more about the kits or volunteer for the drive.

This is a little frustrating. The Pacific Daily News and Pacific News Center both report that the 6th Justice Bone Marrow Drive will be held April 19, but there's no information as to where it is. The information is attributed to a press release, but I can't turn up the release anywhere. You might want to try emailing the author of the Pacific Daily News piece at bmkelman@guampdn.com to get more details. If you turn anything up, please let us know.

Update: I stumbled over this article on KUAM, which has the location: the Guam Premiere Outlets in Tamuning.
