42 LIFEGIVING BLOOD DONORS

42 LIFEGIVING BLOOD DONORS

    The Britton Community Blood Drive, held on Tuesday, Oct. 8, saw an impressive turnout, with 42 donors stepping up to contribute. The event resulted in 47 units of life-saving blood, which could potentially save up to 141 lives—a remarkable impact on the local community.
    The event was coordinated by Jesse Bolzer and the Britton Action Club, with support from the Britton Lions Club, who volunteered and served as an additional sponsor. Special thanks also go to the Britton Events Center for hosting the drive.
    Several first-time LifeServe donors were recognized, including Dale Hagen, Thomas Jones, Shawn Kalbrener, Alecia Pearson, Vibeke Trevithick, Melanie Trevithick, and Pamela Zierden. Milestone donors were also celebrated, with Sandra Nelson, Lori Rabenberg, and Alan Heer reaching the 1-gallon mark, and Pamela Lunzman celebrated for her 16-gallon donation.
    Donors are reminded they can transfer their lifetime donations to LifeServe by visiting lifeserve.info/transfer.
    Mark your calendars for the next blood drive on Dec. 10, 2024, at the Britton Events Center, from 12:30 p.m. to 5:30 p.m. This drive will be sponsored by the Faith Small Scholarship Blood Drive.

Poll: END OR RETAIN EXPANDED MEDICAID COVERAGE? South Dakota voters will decide in November on a proposed constitutional amendment that would end the state’s expanded Medicaid coverage if the federal government’s share of funding for the expansion falls below 90%. The expansion, approved by voters in 2022, provides Medicaid eligibility to certain adults ages 19 to 64 with incomes up to the federal limit established by the constitutional amendment. The proposed amendment would remove that expanded coverage if the federal funding level drops below 90%. If the election were held today, how would you vote?
