The American Red Cross is conducting a community blood drive as part of National Preparedness Month.

The blood drive will be held from 2 to 7 p.m. Tuesday at Sallisaw First United Methodist Church.

During National Preparedness Month citizens are urged to take steps to prepare their homes and families for disasters or other types of emergencies. Each donor giving blood at the blood drive will receive a free Red Cross preparedness item and information on preparing a Family Preparedness Kit. In addition, one lucky donor will receive a free Red Cross Family First Aid Kit.

Red Cross Blood Services is now the provider for Sequoyah Memorial Hospital, so blood donated locally will help this community be prepared.

The National Preparedness Month Blood Drive will be held in the Multi-Purpose Room, which is located near the church's west entrance. The church is located at 2100 McGee Dr., next to the Lion's Club Park Walking Trail. Donors may make an appointment by calling 1-800-GIVE LIFE.

After an experiment that lasted several months, the editors at Your TIMES decided this week to end the practice of allowing anonymous comments on our website because most of the comments involve personal attacks and unfounded accusations. These comments do not add information to a story, or add any true insight. While we believe in the free exchange of ideas, it had become evident that was not what was happening in the comment section of our website. Readers can also become fans of Your TIMES on Facebook and may comment on our postings there. Readers are also encouraged to write letters to the editor to the newspaper about matters of public interest. The newspaper circulation is several times that of the web site, so readership is much higher. Letters must include a name and phone number so that we may contact the writer to verify authenticity of the letter. Letters are limited to 500 words and one letter per writer per month is accepted.
