Thank you to all 51 participants who donated blood at the Lake Monticello firehouse on Feb. 23 to benefit the American Red Cross. Special thanks also to the Lake Monticello Fire & Rescue Board of Directors for sponsoring the drive, and to the auxiliary for supplying food and assistance. We are so grateful for the outpouring of concern for Doug and for supporting our efforts to “Pay it Forward” to the Red Cross for all the blood he received in recent months.
