Event overflows with generosity

Friday, February 11, 2005

Rosemary Noel, of Bronaugh, relaxes and works on a crossword puzzle while Red Cross workers collect her blood at the First Baptist Church in Nevada on Thursday. According to Kirk Wiseman, a truck driver for the Red Cross, this event brings more blood donations than any other regularly scheduled blood drive that they do in southwest Missouri and northwest Arkansas. "You have no idea how dependent southwest Missouri and northwest Arkansas is on Nevada," he said. The blood drive will continue at the church on Highland Street until 7 o'clock tonight.
