This year's Outdoor Retailer show was a lot of fun!

For one of our events, we got to host Canoe & Kayak Magazine's 35th anniversary party - we expected 100 guests, and about 200 showed up! Considering Pierpont Place is only about half a block away from the Salt Palace Convention Center, I suppose it was easier to get here than people initially thought. There was tasty food, plenty of beer, and a big cake. There was also 2 large gobo lights, colorful uplighting, and an exciting video presentation (gotta love those crazy kayakers!). We are excited to host anniversary #36 and beyond, Canoe and Kayak Magazine!

Thank You Donors!

On behalf of the patients whoes lives you have touched, thank you for coming to Pierpont Place to donate blood at our first Red Cross Blood Drive! We appreciate you taking the time to help make sure blood is available before it is needed. And, because summer is such a difficult time for keeping up on the blood supply, you have truly made a positive impact in many people's lives.

THANK YOU!

BLOOD DRIVE - July 22 - convenient downtown location!

A Blood Drive is being hosted by Pierpont Place -
163 W Pierpont Ave (240 S) -
on Tuesday, July 22, 10am to 3pm.

Summertime is considered "trauma season" to medical professionals. There is typically a higher demand for blood due to the increase in critical injuries and surgeries, while there is a decrease in people donating. Your help is greatly needed! The entire process takes about 45-60 minutes, and that small commitment of time could mean saving the lives for up to 3 people with your one donation.

All presenting donors will be entered into a raffle to win great prizes!
- 9-MONTH LEASE ON A 2008 SATURN AURA
- $100 GAS CARD
- PEERY HOTEL ONE-NIGHT STAY
- SQUATTERS GIFT CERTIFICATE
- Plus, more!
