American Red Cross Urges Blood Donors to Double Their Lifesaving Impact
Just 38 percent of the population is eligible to give blood, and only a fraction of those eligible
actually give. This October, the American Red Cross encourages eligible blood donors double
the life-saving impact they have on the blood supply by asking a friend or family member to make
an appointment to give blood with them.
All blood types are needed, especially O negative, B negative, and A negative. Type O negative,
the universal blood type, can potentially be transfused to patients with any blood type. Eligible
donors with these blood types can also double their impact by donating double red cells – where
available – giving two units of red cells during one donation appointment. Donors can give double
red cells every 112 days or up to three times per year.
How to Donate Blood
Simply call 1-800-RED CROSS (1-800-733-2767) or visit redcrossblood.org to make an appointment
or for more information. A blood donor card or driver’s license, or two other forms of identification are required at check-in. Individuals who are 17 years of age (16 with parental permission in some states), weigh at least 110 pounds and are generally in good health may be eligible to donate blood. High school students and other donors 18 years of age and younger also have to meet certain height and weight requirements.
About the American Red Cross
Governed by volunteers and supported by giving individuals and communities, the American Red Cross is the single largest supplier of blood products to hospitals throughout the United States. While local hospital needs are always met first, the Red Cross also helps ensure no patient goes without blood no matter where or when they need it. In addition to providing nearly half of the nation’s blood supply, the Red Cross provides relief to victims of disaster, trains millions in lifesaving skills, serves as a communication link between U.S. military members and their families, and assists victims of international disasters or conflicts.

Don't Dress For Dinner
The Lofte Community Theatre in Manley announces its fall farce, "Don't Dress For Dinner,".
The fast-paced script by RobinHawdon sees Bernard carefully preparing a romantic
weekend in the country with his mistress. His wife is off to visit her mother, a gourmet
chef has been hired to cater the evening and Bernard's friend will provide the alibi.
What could possibly go wrong? As is in every scripted farce, the audience is soon
witness to a combination of misunderstandings, fibs and impossible situations. Lofte
Artistic Director Kevin Colbert produced this show during Mahoney State Park's winter
season several years ago where it still holds the record for highest attendance.
Kevin Colbert both directs and plays the lead in the Lofte production. The play also
stars Shari Hoelker and Doug Rothgeb of Omaha, Renae Koehler of Firth, Kevin
Holdorf of Manley and newcomer Toni Santee of Plattsmouth. Production dates are
October 21-23 and 27-30. Thursday through Saturday curtain times are 7:30pm.
Sunday shows are 2pm matinees. General Admission tickets are $17 and can be
purchased either online at wwww.Lofte.com or by calling the box office (402) 234-2553.
The Lofte is holding a special fundraising event in conjunction with this production.
From October 27-30, audience members will have the opportunity to come early and
have a dinner theater experience right on stage! A cordon bleu menu has been speci-
fically designed to match the gourmet meal in "Don't Dress For Dinner." The cost is $25
in addition to the show ticket and advance reservations are required. Those who are
interested should call the box office with questions.
