COMMUNITY BLOOD DRIVE
Springfield Community Blood Drive Wrap up: On a beautiful Sunday to do any kind of activity, we want to thank all who donated and who attempted to donate. Although we fell short of our goal, we did collect 34 units and with the shortage of Blood the Red Cross was still very pleased. Once again thanks to all involved (Fire Dept.) and everyone in the community.
-Your St. Joseph Knights of Columbus and the Red Cross.
