From Sue Gulley

Happy St. Paddy’s Day! This is the third week of our Heroes campaign, and there are a couple of events on the calendar this week. On Tuesday the 18th I’ll be at a taping of a radio show on WGCL AM1370 to talk about the American Red Cross during National Red Cross month. Don Creek and Loni White from the Red Cross River Valley Blood Services Division will join me. Unfortunately, in our area we suffer critical blood shortages as the rule rather than the exception. If you haven’t donated blood in awhile, go to Givebloodnow.org, and type in your zip code to see where the next blood drive is being held, or go to the Bloomington blood donor site on 1600 West 3rd Street. This one action you can take in giving blood can save up to three lives- what an opportunity!

According to our calendar, Dodd’s House at Wright Quad will hold its Heroes couch-a-thon on Wed., March 19th so if you are in the area, stop by and drop your donation into the donation canister during their event. Thanks to Brent Postleweight for his work on organizing this event!
