SUMC Blood Drive
Turning 16 is a milestone for any teenager. Sweet 16 parties, driver’s licenses, keys to the car, and as of July 1, 2008, 16-year-olds in Minnesota have the opportunity to donate blood with the American Red Cross with a signed Red Cross parental/ guardian consent former dated no sooner than July 1, 2008.
“Legislation allowing 16-year-olds to donate blood not only helps bolster the blood supply, but also introduces young people to a unique form of community service – one that will hopefully become a lifelong tradition, said Rick Panning, CEO of the North Central Blood Services Region. “There are thousands of 16-year-olds in our area, and by donating blood, they can truly make a difference.”
Those willing to donate blood can make a difference on Tuesday, July 15, by participating in the blood drive being held at the Sebeka United Methodist Church from 12:00 noon to 6:00 p.m.
Approximately 20 percent of blood donations made to the Red Cross come from high school and college students. During the summer, the Red Cross experiences an approximate 50 percent drop in blood donations from high school and college-aged donors because school is not in session and campus blood drives don’t occur. Yet the need for blood continues. Every two seconds someone in the United States needs blood.
“Blood donors are generous people who take the time to give blood for patients in need. However, the demand for blood is growing, so new donors are always needed,” added Panning. “We hope parents will support and encourage their teenagers to give blood.”
Steps donors can take to prepare for a good donation experience: Get a good night sleep, eat a good breakfast or lunch, drink extra water and fluids to replace the volume you will donate, avoid caffeinated beverages, and eat iron-rich foods to boost your iron level.
Donors must be in general good health, weight 110 pounds or more, and be at least 16-years-old. Sixteen-year-olds must bring a signed American Red Cross parental/guardian consent form with them to the blood drive. Consent forms must be signed on July 1, 2008, or after. Consent forms can be obtained by contacting the American Red Cross or a volunteer blood drive coordinator. For more information, please call 1-800-GIVE-LIFE or visit givebloodgivelife.org.

Students, friends and families: By mid to late August you all might be getting a bit bored with summer and/or waiting for school to start. If so, we have a great way for you to wrap up your summer and kick-off the start of a new school year.
We have come up with a one-of-a-kind event called the Family Fun Fest, to be held at the Sebeka School athletic complex from noon to 11:00 p.m. on Saturday, August 23. We have a full day event now in the planning stages, with activities for students and adults, including an inflated jumping bubble for the kids and a dunking tank. We will let you know in coming weeks as more activities are added.
There will be live music from 3:00 p.m. to 11:00 pm., with the main event to feature the local band CUT LOOSE playing from 7:00 p.m. to 11:00 p.m. Prior to that, we will have music by four other bands from out of the area. There will be at least one former Sebeka High School student in each of those bands. Sweet!
This event will be smoke-free, drug-free and alcohol-free, with security provided by the Wadena County Sheriff’s Department.
Students, kids of all ages from all across the area are invited to participate. You deserve a day like this! Mark your calendars now, and make plans to be in Sebeka on Saturday, August 23.
