Donors urged to help the Red Cross maintain blood supply
Severe winter weather, flu disrupting blood donations

LINCOLN, Neb. (Feb. 5, 2018) — Winter storms and the flu don’t just mean a lot of people are missing work and school – it also means they can’t keep their American Red Cross blood donation appointments. The Red Cross is urging healthy donors of all blood types to roll up a sleeve to help maintain the blood supply for patients in need.

In 2018, severe winter weather forced about 600 blood drives to cancel, resulting in more than 17,500 uncollected blood and platelet donations. And, widespread flu across the U.S. has resulted in lower turnout at blood drives.
Blood donations are needed in the coming days to help replenish the blood supply and ensure patients continue to receive lifesaving treatments. Donors can help even more patients when they invite a loved one, friend or co-worker to give with them.

Make an appointment to donate this winter by downloading the free Red Cross Blood Donor
App, visiting redcrossblood.org or calling 1-800- RED CROSS (1-800- 733-2767).

2018 Annual Meeting & Volunteer Recognition at the Lofte Theatre

Sunday, February 25 @ 2pm

It's a cross between a family reunion and the Oscars. It's time once again for the Lofte's Annual Meeting & Volunteer Recognition!

Mark your calendars for Sunday, February 25 at 2pm. Desserts and refreshments will be provided.
Outstanding volunteers will be recognized with a NEW CAR! (Ok, it's a trophy. I was just seeing if you were paying attention.)

Once the official business meeting is completed, Artistic Director Kevin Colbert will lead us on a journey through the crazy fun that was 2017! Then he will give us a preview of what's in store for 2018.

This is a casual event and we welcome you to bring your friends and families. The more the merrier!
