Need for blood doesn’t stop for holidays – donors needed
Those who come to give through Dec. 18 will receive a $5 Amazon.com Gift Card
LINCOLN, Neb. (Dec. 2, 2019) — Between Thanksgiving and Christmas, more than 1 million units of blood could be transfused in the United States. Individuals are urged to give a lifesaving gift this holiday season by making an appointment to donate blood and help the American Red Cross ensure a sufficient supply is available for patients throughout the holiday season. Those with type O blood are especially needed.
How blood donation impacts lives
On Sept. 28, 2018, MaKenzie Schienebeck experienced a complication during her pregnancy and found herself losing blood extremely fast. She was in and out of consciousness and felt her life slipping away. Schienebeck was given blood transfusions on the way to the hospital, during emergency surgery and after surgery. “I would not be alive today if it was not for the American Red Cross and the gracious donors who gave their blood,” said Schienebeck. “Blood is more than just blood. It’s the key to saving lives.”
During the holiday season, set aside an hour to give blood and be the lifeline patients need. Make an appointment now by downloading the free Red Cross Blood Donor App, visiting RedCrossBlood.org, calling 1-800-RED CROSS (1-800-733-2767) or enabling the Blood Donor Skill on any Alexa Echo device.
In thanks for helping meet the urgent need, those who come to give blood now through Dec. 18 will receive a $5 Amazon.com Gift Card via email, courtesy of Suburban Propane. (Restrictions apply; see amazon.com/gc-legal. More information and details are available at RedCrossBlood.org/Thanks.)

Night Before Christmas - Contest Delayed to Christmas 2020
I personally apologize for anyone that was planning on participating in our Twas the Night Before Christmas - 2019 Story Telling Contest we announced before Christmas. John Harrington ( Computer John )
We wanted to create awareness of our new www.CassPod.com Cass Area PodCast Portal. We wanted to invite folks to try their skills in a fun Holiday way. Unfortunately I did not consider that in-order for such a contest ( seems simple enough ) has many moving parts and in order to be fair and successful - many volunteers would be required. Especially several credible and non-partial Judges - are required minimum of 3 Judges and as of 12/10/2019 we have only one. We therefore decided to delay the contest to next year. Sorry about that. If anyone has been diligently practicing, please email / share your MP3 w/special email address: This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it. we will make avail at www.CassPod.com for everyone to enjoy. Good News! We have contracted with a genuine Grandmother - to record this famous poem - to share with everyone - on 12/24/2019 - we will post it at www.CassPod.com and on the 12/18/2019 Newsletter ( so you can listen together and get those Kiddo's to sleep on 12/24/2019
Again sorry for my poor preparation. Email Me at This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it. w/comments & or suggestions.
