AREA BLOOD DRIVES

The Red Cross has recently escalated their need for blood from Urgent to CRITICAL. This is a result of the decline in donations during the summer while the need for blood has remained constant. With the 4th of July holiday approaching, they will continue to see a decline. 

If you are interested in giving blood, there are a couple upcoming blood drives to be aware of.  On July 9th,  Bethel Lutheran Church on 14th Ave in Menominee will host one from 12 to 5 pm.  There will be another on July 9th from 10 to 3 pm at Pine Tree Mall in Marinette.   Donors are encouraged to call 1-800-red-cross or visit www.redcrossblood.org for appointments. Walk-ins are welcome. If ever these was a time to donate, this is the time. Every 2 seconds there is someone in need of blood.  Thank you!

CRAFTING TOGETHER ON FRIDAY, JULY 6TH

Come join the ladies of Creator's Hands as they host a craft night called "Crafting Together" where everyone is invited to bring their craft projects to work on. If you don't have a craft, but would like to learn one, there will be supplies and mentors to help you. Occasionally, there will be a special speaker to demonstrate a craft. This is the perfect time to invite a friend, neighbor, daughter, or grandchild to attend. Crafting Together meets the first Friday of the month.

The next meeting will take place next Friday, July 6th from 6:00 - 8:00 pm. Contact Diane Nelson with any questions at nelsond12@new.rr.com or 248.828.3213.
