RED CROSS SCHEDULES BLOOD DRIVES

The American Red Cross has scheduled two area blood drives.

One will be held Sunday from 8 a.m. to 1 p.m., at St. Vincent DePaul Catholic Church in Cape Girardeau.

A blood drive will also be held Tuesday through Thursday on the campus of Southeast Missouri State University from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. in Geronimo's in the Towers Complex. The goal is to collect 300 units.

Dave Palmer of the American Red Cross said it is currently in a Code yellow situation, which means blood supplies are getting low enough to be concerned if there were an emergency.
