All are invited to attend the artist’s reception for the current exhibit “Nature/Nurture” at 4 p.m. today. All art in the gallery is for sale; it’s a great place to begin your holiday shopping early. You won’t find a better one of a kind place to shop and support your local arts.

The The Mesquite Senior Center and the American Red Cross is hosting a Blood Drive on Friday, Oct. 19. To help meet patient needs, the Red Cross asks eligible individuals unaffected by Hurricane Michael to give blood. The storm has forced the cancellation of dozens of blood drives, causing nearly a thousand units of blood to go uncollected in Alabama, Georgia, South Carolina and North Carolina. More blood drive cancellations are possible and low donor turnout is expected in the Southeast over the coming days as communities’ recover from the storm.

Before the storm, the Red Cross already had a critical need for blood and platelet donations following Hurricane Florence. Appointments can be made by using the Red Cross Blood Donor App, visiting redcrossblood.org or calling 1-800-RED CROSS.

Remember to send in those event notices, the summer is coming to an end and things are going to be happening that you’ll want folks to know about. Send them to terin.bbm@gmail.com so you can everyone know what’s happening with your group or club.
