For example, in the case of an NYBCe newsletter, I may revoke my authorization to have the Name, Photograph and Information published in that newsletter at any time before the newsletter goes to press. Anytime thereafter, I may no longer revoke my authorization concerning that newsletter, as NYBCe will have submitted the completed newsletter to the printer in reliance on my authorization. However, I may still revoke my authorization for use of the Name, Photograph and Information in future publications for which NYBCe has not yet completed the work-product.Because NYBCe puts a lot of time, energy and resources into conceiving and developing the work-product for its publicity and public affairs activities, NYBCe asks that you notify the following department in writing as soon as possible if you decide to revoke your authorization:NYBCe Corporate Communications 310 E. 67th Street New York, NY 10065 (212) 570-3220* NYBCe is comprised of five operating divisions: New York Blood Center, Rhode Island Blood Center, Blood Bank of Delmarva, Innovative Blood Resources (Memorial Blood Centers and Nebraska Community Blood Bank), and Community Blood Center of Greater Kansas City
