San Joaquin County residents can join the National Marrow Donor Program's registry Saturday in Lodi.

A donor drive will be hosted by Miss San Joaquin 2008 Melissa Greiner from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. Saturday at the Lodi Women's Club, 325 W. Pine St.

Greiner is using the donor program as a platform in the Miss America program. Her father, Stephen Greiner, received a bone marrow donation in 2007.
