Many thanks to the donors who gave the gift of life at our blood drive for the American Red Cross last week. We were able to help the Red Cross eclipse the quota for the drive and that blood will help the Red Cross at a time of critical need. Also, many thanks to all who came over for a pancake and sausage breakfast. We had a good time and look forward to more culinary adventures this year. Our next food event will be our Spaghetti and meatball/sausage dinner on September 22 from 4-7:30 in Healy Hall. Dine in or take out at family friendly pricing.
