College City Sertoma Meeting
August 19, 2013, 6:30 p.m.
Sertoman of the Night: Sue Newland
Guest Speaker: Kerry Cipra, American Red Cross
The American Red Cross collects blood from volunteers prior to any need. Volunteer blood donations are an
undesignated gift. The Red Cross maintains as National blood bank. However, local needs come first, followed by
regional then national needs. Stock is monitored & rotated, so tat there is as little loss of outdated stock as
possible.
The St. Paul facility served 108 hospitals in Minnesota, Wisconsin and South Dakota. There are only two blood
donation organizations operating in Minnesota – the Red Cross and the War Memorial.
The blood is received through community drives (i.e. high schools, colleges, churches, civic groups, businesses,
hospitals, clinics etc).
An individual or group can volunteer in the following ways:
Give blood at a blood drive.
Sign up to help with refreshments or signing donors in.
There are certain requirements which have to be met before an individuals blood can be accepted. Here are two
examples:
Some medications are unacceptable
Visitation to some countries may also prevent donations by individuals.
38% of the American population meet the requirements. Only 5-8% actually give blood. The highest percentage
of groups who donates comes from schools and colleges.
Here some ways to help:
Give blood!
Volunteer at a drive by greeting donors or serving refreshments.
Recruit donors.
There will be blood drives in: the Senior center this Wednesday, the first Friday of every month in Culvers, and in
Bridge Square on the Friday of the Defeat of Jesse James Days celebration.
Before giving blood, please check with the American Red Cross to ensure that you are eligible – Ph. 1-800426-2164, e-mail www.redcrossblood.org

Laughter Lines!
in Church
A little boy was in a relative's wedding. As he was coming down the aisle, he
would take two steps, stop, and turn to the crowd.
W hile facing the crowd, he would put his hands up like claws and roar.
So it went, step, step, ROAR, step, step, ROAR, all the way down the aisle.
As you can imagine, the crowd was near tears from laughing so hard by the time
he reached the pulpit.
W hen asked what he was doing, the child sniffed and said,
"I was being the Ring Bear."
Fruit & Herb Flavored Water
Servings: 6-8 servings
Ingredients
•
fruit -- 2 cups berries, citrus, melons, pineapple...most fruits will work (see recommended amounts in directions)
•
herbs -- a sprig of mint, basil, sage, rosemary, tarragon, thyme, or lavender
•
•
water (tap or filtered)
ice
Directions
Supplies needed: 2 quart pitcher or jar with lid; muddler or wooden spoon
General formula for whatever fruit/herb combo you desire.
1. If using herbs, add a sprig of fresh herbs to jar/pitcher; press and twist with muddler or handle of wooden
spoon to bruise leaves and release flavor; don't pulverize the herbs into bits.
2. Add approx. 2 cups of fruit to jar/pitcher; press and twist with muddler or handle of wooden spoon, just
enough to release some of the juices
3. Fill jar/pitcher with ice cubes.
4. Add water to top of jar/pitcher.
5. Cover and refrigerate for up to 3 days.
Suggested flavor combinations:
ALL CITRUS (no herbs) -- Slice 1 orange, 1 lime, 1 lemon into rounds, then cut the rounds in half. Add to
jar and proceed with muddling, add ice & water.
RASPBERRY LIME (no herbs) -- Quarter 2 limes; with your hands, squeeze the juice into the jar, then
throw in the squeezed lime quarters. Add 2 cups raspberries. Muddle, add ice & water.
PINEAPPLE MINT -- Add a sprig of mint to the jar (you can throw in the whole sprig; or, remove the
leaves from the sprig, if you prefer to have the mint swimming around and distributing in the jar). Muddle the
mint. Add 2 cups pineapple pieces, muddle, add ice & water.
BLACKBERRY SAGE -- Add sage sprig to jar and muddle. Add 2 cups blackberries; muddle, add ice &
water.
