American Red Cross Urges Blood Donors to Double Their Lifesaving Impact
Just 38 percent of the population is eligible to give blood, and only a fraction of those eligible actually give. This October, the American Red Cross encourages eligible blood donors double the lifesaving impact they have on the blood supply by asking a friend or family member to make an appointment to give blood with them.
All blood types are needed, especially O negative, B negative, and A negative. Type O negative, the universal blood type, can potentially be transfused to patients with any blood type. Eligible donors with these blood types can also double their impact by donating double red cells – where available – giving two units of red cells during one donation appointment. Donors can give double red cells every 112 days or up to three times per year.

Don't Dress For Dinner
The Lofte Community Theatre in Manley announces the opening of its fall farce,
"Don't Dress For Dinner," on Friday, October 15. The fast-paced script by Robin
Hawdon sees Bernard carefully preparing a romantic weekend in the country with
his mistress. His wife is off to visit her mother, a gourmet chef has been hired to
cater the evening and Bernard's friend will provide the alibi. What could possibly
go wrong? As is in every scripted farce, the audience is soon witness to a combi-
nation of misunderstandings, fibs and impossible situations. Lofte Artistic Director
Kevin Colbert produced this show during Mahoney State Park's winter season
several years ago where it still holds the record for highest attendance.
Kevin Colbert both directs and plays the lead in the Lofte production. The play also
stars Shari Hoelker and Doug Rothgeb of Omaha, Renae Koehler of Firth, Kevin
Holdorf of Manley and newcomer Toni Santee of Plattsmouth. Production dates are
October 15-16, 21-23 and 27-30. Thursday through Saturday curtain times are 7:30pm.
Sunday shows are 2pm matinees. General Admission tickets are $17 and can be
purchased either online at wwww.Lofte.com or by calling the box office (402) 234-2553.
The Lofte is holding a special fundraising event in conjunction with this production.
From October 27-30, audience members will have the opportunity to come early and
have a dinner theater experience right on stage! A cordon bleu menu has been speci-
fically designed to match the gourmet meal in "Don't Dress For Dinner." The cost is $25
in addition to the show ticket and advance reservations are required. Those who are
interested should call the box office with questions.
