From the Good Times Bar

"We would like to thank the Louisville, Plattsmouth, Springfield, Weeping Water, Manley, and Avoca Volunteer Fire Departments along with the Cass County Sheriffs Dept. for their quick response this morning. They did a tremendous job and we couldn't ask for anything better. We are very proud of that brotherhood and to be a part of it.

The fire was contained to the apartment upstairs but the bar and other apartment sustained heavy smoke and water damage. Clean-up is already underway and we will be back open as soon as possible.

Thank you for all of your thoughts and support.

~ Cory and Mandi Chubb

The American Red Cross calls on eligible donors with all blood types to help maintain a sufficient blood supply this summer

OMAHA, Neb. (July 15, 2014) — The American Red Cross encourages all eligible blood donors to make an appointment to donate blood soon to help prevent a shortage.

During the summer months, on average, about two fewer donors give blood at each Red Cross blood drive than what is needed to meet the needs of patients. Vacations and summer activities are among the reasons regular donors may not find the time to give. But, patients don’t get a vacation from needing blood – the need is constant.

As a national network, the Red Cross has a unique responsibility to help ensure blood is available for patients whenever and wherever it is needed. By donating blood or platelets through the Red Cross, donors may be helping patients in their community or patients across the nation.

Red blood cells have a shelf life of only 42 days and platelets just five days, so they must constantly be replenished.

To learn more and make an appointment to donate blood, visit redcrossblood.org or call 1-800-RED CROSS.

Upcoming blood donation opportunities:

Cass County
Aug. 9 from 9 a.m.- 3 p.m. at Louisville High School, 202 W. Third St. in Louisville
Aug. 10 from noon to 4:15 p.m. at First Baptist Church, 16220 Highway 75 in Plattsmouth
Aug. 11 from 1 - 7 p.m. at Town Hall, 623 House St. in Avoca

Beginning with the Wed 5/21/2014 Newsletter all of the Communities will be able to post, buy, sell ads for general merchandise such as mowers, baby cribs, cars, computers and Real Estate.
We especially hope that the classified ads will be used to post Jobs, look for positions, and post special events, birthdays, church events and Garage Sales.

Certainly there are lots of places on the Internet to post ads, but I know that some folks are uncomfortable with using EBay or Craigs List - this is just your neighbors and should be a bit less scary.

Step 1: you do need to have an account, and an email address to manage your ads. You will be notified to renew your ad, you can change info, pricing, and pics as long as you have this account.

Step 2: create an ad, indicate if it is Elmwood, Eagle, Louisville and Alvo and post it

Step 3: wait for approval. We will approve ads as close to immediately as possible. We need to take a quick peek and make sure that it is a real ad, and if anything needs fixing we will fix it.

Step 4: post it to Facebook if you like!

Ads will now show everywhere, regardless if it was posted in Elmwood or Alvo. Our number one request was to post once, and make it visible everywhere. Ads will also be Goggle/Twitter searchable as well as location, travel directions searchable.

So, get cracking! Create that account, and post everything in your garage and basement!

If you need some assistance TEXT us at 4029680821
