Recap: Toledo Presbyterian Church enjoyed a successful Red Cross Blood Drive on Groundhog Day last Friday, according to Kathy Hill. Donors came from neighboring communities and as far away as Chehalis. More than a dozen pre-signed (signed up in advance during their visit) meaning they’re already scheduled for the next blood drive March 30. Additionally, ask about Power Red, in which double the quantity of red blood cells are extracted with plasma returned to donor. May opt in every second visit.  

Thanks go out to volunteers, donors and especially the Presbyterian Church for hosting this important community event. The Red Cross will return every two months, as long as folks support this community event by rolling up their sleeves.

Next date: 30, 2018.
Contact Kathy Hill, (360)219-7756.
Better yet, show up and donate.

Recap: Toledo High School ASB served up their incomparable Omelettes & AYCE hotcakes (or biscuits n’ gravy) last Saturday morning as the basketball game played out in the gym.
Supports student athletics and clubs. Always worth it to see Principal Martin Huffman deftly handling the grill & the diners.
