A Red Cross blood drive will be held 12:30-5:30 p.m. Tuesday at St. Paul’s United Church of Christ in Welcome. Give the gift of life, give blood.

The Red Cross blood drive in Ceylon on Sept. 26 yielded 20 persons and 20 pints of blood. They almost made their goal of 22 pints.

Thank you to Legends 2 for making space available and to the volunteers at the registration and canteen that day.

A big thank you to those who donated blood.

The city of Ceylon would like to thank all those who volunteered to help clean up the streets and yards after the tornado with 80+ mph winds on Sept. 20. Your help was appreciated.

Saw an Irish proverb online that said: “A good laugh and a long sleep are the two best cures for anything.”

I think I would agree.
