The Arcadia chapter of the Red Cross is seeking to become a regional subcenter for blood collection and processing for the Los Angeles and Orange County areas. Authorities say that such a center on the grounds of the Methodist Hospital would be ideal.
On a 3-1 vote, the Arcadia City Council Tuesday night turned down a request from the Arcadia Chapter of the American Red Cross for a refund on a $3,076.78 building permit fee.
Arcadia Chapter, American Red Cross, has received a $20,000 sponsorship check from Herb Jones, chief executive officer of Hinshaw's, to provide a board of directors room in the new facility.
