On Saturday, Sept. 24, La Mesa Chamber of Commerce (LMCC) invites the public to join them at the Marketplace at Lake Murray Village Shopping Center, at the corner of Lake Murray Blvd. and Baltimore Drive (5550-5680 Lake Murray Blvd.) between the hours of 11 a.m.- 4 p.m.

“Shop & Dine La Mesa” is a family-friendly free fun-filled event created by the La Mesa Chamber of Commerce to promote businesses in various geographic areas of La Mesa that currently receive no funding from the City of La Mesa.

During the event, attendees can roll up their sleeves and help to save lives.

LMCC will partner with the American Red Cross to hold what they expect to be the first of many blood drives.

Each pint of blood collected can help save up to three lives and will touch the lives of many more.

LMCC has planned a number of activities and giveaways for the day, including a car show, live music and more.

You can secure your donation appointment now by visiting: tinyurl.com/shopdineblooddrive.
