This event is free and open to the public.

inspiring audiences to increased patriotism. The group also shares stirring accounts of the
bravery and self-sacrifice of our expeditionary Airmen serving around the globe. The Noteables
have appeared in concert and on national television with Bob Hope, jazz trumpeter Bobby Shew,
composer/arranger Frank Mantooth, former Tonight Show band leader Doc Severinsen, pop
singer Lee Greenwood and trombonist Wycliffe Gordon.
The Noteables honorably represent more than 325,000 Air Force professionals around the
world who diligently watch over the skies protecting and defending all those who cherish freedom.
We hope you afford us the opportunity to share the messages of excellence, sacrifice, courage
and commitment of our brave men and women...the deployed Airmen of the United States Air
Force.
Weeping Water Color Guard from American Legion Post #237 will present our nation's colors.
The concert will last approximately one hour. Everyone is invited to bring their favorite Veteran,
friends and family to this special patriotic event.

Donate Blood and Give Thanks to Those that Have Served
During November, a time to give thanks and honor Veteran’s Day, the American Red Cross
invites eligible blood donors to give blood and honor those who have served the country in the
Armed Forces.
The American Red Cross serves more than 3,000 hospitals nationwide, including many Veterans
Affairs Medical Centers. Currently 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, especially in emergency situations.
Another way to honor military personnel is by making a contribution to support American Red Cross
Service to the Armed Forces (SAF), which offers resources for deployed service members and their
families, provides emergency communications and supports hospital outreach and veterans programs.
How to Donate Blood
Simply call 1-800-RED CROSS (1-800-733-2767) or visit redcrossblood.org to make an appointment
or for more information. A blood donor card or driver’s license, or two other forms of identification are
required at check-in. Individuals who are 17 years of age (16 with parental permission in some states),
weigh at least 110 pounds and are generally in good health may be eligible to donate blood. High
school students and other donors 18 years of age and younger also have to meet certain height and
weight requirements.
About the American Red Cross
Governed by volunteers and supported by giving individuals and communities, the American Red Cross is the single largest supplier of blood products to hospitals throughout the United States. While local hospital needs are always met first, the Red Cross also helps ensure no patient goes without blood no matter where or when they need it. In addition to providing nearly half of the nation’s blood supply, the Red Cross provides relief to victims of disaster, trains millions in lifesaving skills, serves as a communication link between U.S. military members and their families, and assists victims of international disasters or conflicts.
Upcoming blood donation locations in CASS COUNTY:
11/14/2011, 2:30 pm- 7:00 pm, Elmwood-Murdock High School, 300 Wyoming, Murdock
