Visitors
to the ALMH website may have already noticed its new
addition: online bill paying. In an age of paperless paychecks and
shopping from the comfort of your living room, ALMH has furthered
its dedication to patient convenience by offering bill paying at the
click of a mouse.
The "Pay My
Bill" link appears at the top and bottom of the home page of the
ALMH website, www.almh.org, as
well as along the sidebar. Once clicked, the link takes visitors to
a page where they are instructed to type in the patient's name and
account number. The site can be used with either credit or debit
cards.
The
Humane Society of Logan County and Ace Hardware will have a
dog adopt-a-thon Saturday, July 31, at Ace Hardware, 521 N.
Kickapoo, from 10 to 11 a.m.
There
will be a CICBC blood drive on Monday, Aug. 2, at Lincoln
Masonic Center, 2022 N. Kickapoo, from noon to 6 p.m. The Central
Illinois Community Blood Center is the blood provider to area
patients of 19 counties at 19 central and southwestern Illinois
hospitals. CICBC is the only provider of blood to Abraham Lincoln
Memorial Hospital, Hopedale Medical Complex, Memorial Medical Center
and St. John's Hospital. If you have any questions about donating,
you can call 1-866-GIVE-BLD (1-866-448-3253). Walk-ins are always
welcome, but to schedule an appointment call Jessica at
1-866-GIVE-BLD, ext 118, or sign up online at
www.cicbc.org.

of each month at Culver's in Lincoln, 2530 Woodlawn Road. From 5 to
8 p.m., 10 percent of all sales will go to Habitat.
Got a good piece of news, information or
something that we can all brag about? If you do, e-mail Mike and let
us tell everyone about it. Plus you can win cash. Every submission,
whether we use it or not, will get your name in the Close Up grab
bag. At the end of the month we will draw a name and someone will
get $25 just for dropping us an e-mail. If you wish, we will be
happy to donate your winnings to the organization of your choice.
