Red Cross fund drive in Cass County faces cuts to blood and swimming programs
A shortfall in Cass County's Red Cross drive endangers the blood bank and county swimming program with $2283 still needed of a $91000 quota. The drive totals $7716.85, including $626 in Atlantic and scattered countywide gifts, risking disaster relief support and the needs of about 1000 children in the swim program. Local chairmen are urged to raise the remaining funds to protect these vital services.
