Elks co-hosting Red Cross blood drive Aug. 15

SKOWHEGAN - The Skowhegan-Madison Lodge and Daughters of Isabella are co-sponsoring a Red Cross Blood Drive at the Skowhegan Community Center on Friday, Aug. 15 from 12-7 p.m.

Since summer is traditionally a slow time of year for donations, the Red Cross needs as many donors as possible.

All presenting donors at the Skowhegan drive will receive a limited edition Red Sox t-shirt.

For an appointment call 1-800-GIFE LIFE.

Winter addresses needed for newsletter

SKOWHEGAN - Attention, snowbirds! Yes, we know it's only August, but some of you may be planning to head south pretty soon.

We have several permanent winter addresses already on file. However, we are still lacking seasonal addresses for about 10 or 12 members. Therefore, we can't mail out the newsletter or your 2009 dues notice.  

So let us know when you're leaving and approximately when you'll return.

If you're not sure your winter address is on file, please leave a note in the lodge office or drop an e-mail to mdlange@roadrunner.com.
