An American Red Cross blood drive will be on March 17 at St. Vianney Church in Fairmont and on March 28 at the Live Fit Gym in Fairmont. Call 800-RED-CROSS (800-733-2767) or go to www.redcrossblood.org to make an appointment or get further information about blood drives in the area. The Red Cross Coordinators for Trimont and Sherburn have secured three times a year for their blood drive schedules. Trimont had a blood drive in February and Sherburn will have one from 1 to 6 p.m. on April 14. The drives will be several days apart so that donations of blood may be made each time at both Trimont and Sherburn. For example, Trimont June and October and Sherburn August and December. For more information, contact Becky Mulso-Rosenberg at (507) 236-8156 or the other coordinators, Dorothy Janssen and Myrna Peters. Thank you to the coordinators for making locally giving blood easier. Blood is urgently needed so give it if you can. Each unit may save up to three people.
