Louisville Special Feature:
Louisvile Library Tech Tuesdays
This past Fall the Louisville library started having Tech Tuesdays. Our first attempt was 4 sessions having to do with job searches. They were presented by Tiffany Peacock: Human Resource Manager for Titan medical. The first was writing or updating your resume with
helpful tips from Tiffany. The next 2 were searching online for jobs and tips on how to post your resume to the job applications. The most recent was practicing interview questions and how to present yourself at interviews.
Our next set of classes will be for beginners focused on the how to use the computer, set up email accounts, and surf the web. We are hoping to have student volunteers from the high school help teach the class and work 1 on 1 with those who sign up for the class. We have 6 computers so the class will be limited to 6 people at a time. On a different note, the library will now have cake pans to check out.
Many small libraries are now doing this so we thought we would try it also. We are accepting donations of cake pans.

Blood Donation Opportunities
Red Cross calls for blood donors as unique as the patients they help
OMAHA, Neb. (Jan. 19, 2015) – In honor of Black History Month this February, and in the spirit of Dr. Charles Drew, an African-American surgeon who was the first medical director of the American Red Cross and a modern blood-banking pioneer, eligible donors as diverse as the patients who need their blood donations are encouraged to give blood to ensure a sufficient blood supply.
Blood from a donor with a similar ethnic background as that of the patient is less likely to cause complications, particularly for those patients whose chronic conditions require repeated transfusions. Sickle cell disease is one such chronic condition affecting as many as 100,000 people in the United States. Prior to transfusion, blood type and Rh factor are matched between donated blood and the patient in need. In some cases, addite blood in the coming days and weeks. All blood types are currently needed to help maintain a diverse and sufficien blood supply, especially types O negative, A negative and B negative.
To learn more about donating blood and to schedule an appointment, download the Red Cross Blood Donor App, visit redcrossblood.org or call 1-800-RED CROSS (1-800-733-2767).
Upcoming blood donation opportunities:
Cass County , Louisville

Cass County 4th of July Celebration in Murray WILL Continue!
The MURRAY FREEDOM FESTIVAL organization is a group of citizens who want to share the celebration of our country's freedoms and anyone is welcome to join our group. In order for this event-filled day to happen, some fundraising is planned for the next few months, so keep watching here for updates. Funds are needed for fireworks, concessions, prizes and more, so please help us in our efforts.
We also have to rely on financial gifts from private individuals, businesses and other organizations. A gift from you, your civic group or business would greatly help us to achieve our goal in making this an annual event to be proud of. Any donation, large or small is genuinely appreciated. (We have already received a donation of $500 from a private citizen, so feel free to match it!) You may make a deposit at the Murray State Bank to the 'Murray Freedom Festival' account, or if you prefer, please mail a check to, John Hensch, Fundraising Chairman, 508 West Young St., Murray, NE 68409 and thank you, in advance, for your generous contribution!
Front Porch Eatery owner, Jose Sanchez, has agreed to shut down for one day, April 12, 2015, and has donated his place of business in Murray for us to host a free-will donation pancake feed for our cause. So mark your calendar for Sunday, April 12th, to come have pancakes. In the meantime, stop in for breakfast, (served all day) or lunch until 2 p.m. and be sure to say, 'Thank you', to Jose for his generous contribution!
Our vision is to bring back and even add many other activities including the oozeball games, (mud volleyball), a classic car show, tug-of-war, street dance, smash-a-car, Bingo, parade and activities for the little kids, too. We're also planning to have raffle tickets for a drawing for 1 lucky person to push the detonater for the starting of the fireworks show! (Oh, pick me, pick ME!!)
The nice people at AnyTime Fitness in Plattsmouth have agreed to sponsor a fun run early in the day on the 4th, so if you know any runners, let them know, and walkers can join in the fun, too!
Also, former Murray resident, Jim Howe, (aka 'Roadkill'), has many fond memories of Murray's celebrations. He now lives at Beaver Lake and has been putting on his own enormous fireworks show at the lake the past few years. (I've seen it and it is great!) Jim, along with Night Vision Fireworks, has graciously agreed to do Murray's show this year on the 4th and he will still do his personal show for the Lake on the 3rd, so folks in the area will have 2 nights of fantastic fireworks!(Thanks, Jim!)
Our website is up and running. You'll be able to keep track of the activity-planning as it progresses and even share photos of your own 4th of July festivities in Murray at www.MurrayFreedomFestivalNE.com. Registration for activities such as the fun run and oozeball will be available online at our website via PayPal or registrants can pay by check. If using PayPal, you'd choose the 'Friends and Family' tab. Checks can be mailed to JOHN HENSCH, FUNDRAISING CHAIRPERSON, MURRAY FREEDOM FESTIVAL, 508 W. YOUNG ST., MURRAY, NE 68409. There will be no refunds on activity registrations.
Please plan to attend our next meeting and bring a friend on
Everyone's welcome!
