HOME
AND FAMILY
Grilling
out this weekend?
[SEPT.
1, 2000]
Nothing
beats a backyard barbecue. Is it the aroma of smoked wood chips
mingling with marinated meat wafting through the air? Or the

great outdoors, where having a good time with friends and family is
just as important as the meal itself.

Summer
slump in donations
New
blood supplies urgently needed
[SEPT.
1, 2000]
The
Heart of America Blood Services Region is asking all eligible whole
blood and pheresis donors to give the gift of life at this time.
Donations during the summer are typically low; however, various
factors have intensified a predictable summer slump in donations to
the point where the blood inventory level is approaching a critical
level. As of 7 a.m. on Sunday, Aug. 27, the Heart of America Blood
Region had less than a one-day supply of blood on its shelves. In an
effort to help increase blood collections, there will be a blood
drive at Lincoln Sports Complex on Wednesday, Sept. 6, from noon
until 6 p.m.
