							As a 
							community we need to be able to talk openly about 
							matters that affect the quality of our lives. The 
							most effective and least offensive manner to get 
							your point across is to stick to the issue 
							and refrain from commenting on another person's 
							opinion. Letters that deviate from focusing on the 
							issue may be rejected or edited and marked as such.

            |  To the editor: MANITO - The National Honor Society of Midwest 
			Central High School would like to thank students, faculty, and 
			community members for donating 74 pints of blood at the American Red 
			Cross blood drive on September 24, 2015. As a result of your 
			donations, over 220 people can benefit from this life saving gift. 
			The highest number of pints ever collected at an NHS sponsored drive 
			was 77 so we were within reach of that mark! 
 When you donate at a National Honor Society sponsored event you are 
			aiding those in need of blood products and helping our members earn 
			college scholarships. We will be hosting the spring drive in March 
			2016 and look forward to seeing you then to help us set a new 
			record!

            As you are planning your fall holiday activities, don’t forget to 
			take time to donate at the next community drive currently scheduled 
			for November 19, 2015 from 1:00pm to 5:30pm at the Forman Center.
