SHERBURN — Tonight is the Sherburn Legion’s monthly ‘Hamburger Night’ from 5-8 p.m. at the legion. Enjoy a grilled burger with all the fixings, a salad, and beans, all for only $ 8 and help the legion raise funds. It’s a good way to celebrate the date 2-2-22 or Groundhog’s Day.

A ‘Lunch and Learn’ event is planned 11 a.m. today at the Senior Citizen’s building near the city hall in Sherburn. The program is all about finding ways to kick cabin fever for the remainder of the winter. A free will donation is accepted for the lunch of homemade

soup and sandwich and a Valentine’s Day dessert following the program. This is open to anyone from Martin County. Hey, only about 40 days to spring. Thanks to CREST for sponsoring this event.

Condolences to the family of Amy (Klima) Brolsma who passed away last week. She will be missed.

The movie showing this weekend at the Sherburn Theatre is ”The King’s Daughter.” Show times are 7 p.m. Friday and Saturday, and at 4 p.m. Sunday. Tickets are $5. Spend locally and help keep our theatre in business.

There is a lower amount of blood being donated lately, so if you are able, give blood at a Red Cross blood drive in the area. There will be drives Feb. 15-17 in Fairmont, on Feb. 21 in Trimont, and on Feb. 28 in Welcome. For further information and to find a blood drive

location near you, call 1-800-RED CROSS (1-800-733-2767), go online at www.redcrossblood.org or text BLOODAPP to 90999. Every donation could save up to three lives. Make appointments early since there are no walk-ins now. Donate blood, platelets or

plasma. The American Red Cross is experiencing the worst blood shortage in over a decade. The dangerously low blood supply levels have forced some hospitals to defer patients from major surgery, including organ transplants.
