You might not have much money these days, but you do have blood. Why not give a pint at the upcoming Red Cross blood drive at the Courant and see a few old friends, too?

The drive is Wednesday, April 22 in the Thomas Green room.

Mo Grothaus, one of the now-retired people who gave the place its heart and soul, says she has available time slots at 12:45, 1:30, 2:00, 2:15, 2:30, 2:45 and 3:00. You may contact her at billmogrothaus@comcast.net.

I happen to know from experience, also, that if you show up unannounced, they will not likely turn you away.
