LEOPOLD WILL HOST BLOOD DRIVE SUNDAY

LEOPOLD -- A blood drive will be held Sunday at Leopold Elementary School.

The drive, to run from 9 a.m.-noon, is being sponsored by the American Red Cross, the Leopold high school and the Leopold Ladies' Sodality.

All donors will receive a T-shirt.

To be eligible to five blood, a donor must be at least 17 years old and weigh at least 110 pounds. The actual blood donation takes about 10 minutes and the entire process lasts less than an hour.

In a Wednesday article in the Southeast Missourian, the date of the blood drive was erroneously reported. The newspaper regrets any inconvenience the error might have caused.
