Blood drive 4 2023

The Peanuts gang is loved by all because they’re friends who take care of each other, and they make us want to do the same. It feels good when we help someone else, and it makes them feel good as well.

You too can do the happy dance by donating blood at the Red Cross Blood drive on April 13, 2023, at the Elmwood Murdock High School in Murdock. Appointment times are available from 12:00 p.m. to 6:00 p.m. Click here to schedule an appointment

When donors come to give blood April 1-23, they'll get an exclusive American Red Cross and PEANUTS® T-shirt featuring Snoopy as the coolest beagle in town, Joe Cool, while supplies last.

Dave Nuss reviewed with the Board two bids that were submitted from D&H Construction for new concrete that needs to be installed at new/old light pole areas. Nuss originally requested help from D&H Construction in cutting and removing old concrete that was completed by Nuss. Board members agreed that the bids needed to be itemized for exact work to be done, areas listed and yards of concrete to be installed as deteriorating sidewalks were included at the Museum and at the Post Office. Property owners are responsible for sidewalk maintenance and if changes are needed with the exiting design, then Board members need to be informed and in agreement with the work to be done.

Wilson second the motion and it passed unanimously.

ELMWOOD-MURDOCK FBLA SHINES AT STATE LEADERSHIP CONFERENCE
Elmwood-Murdock FBLA had another successful showing at the Nebraska FBLA State Leadership Conference! Twenty-nine students qualified for state and traveled to Kearney from April 4-6. At the conference, members participated in competitive events, attended educational workshops, and took part in electing the new Nebraska FBLA state officer team.

The chapter currently has nine students qualified for nationals in Atlanta, GA from June 26-July 1 this summer (1st-3rd place qualifiers); this could potentially increase if students that placed below 3rd would get “bumped” in the next week due to students that placed above them not being able to compete in that event at nationals.
