IN BRIEF Student Council to hold blood drive and bake sale Feb. 21 The Polo High School Student Council will sponsor a blood drive on Thursday, Feb. 21 from 7:30 a.m. to 12 p.m. in the high school gym at 100 S. Union Ave., Polo. According to the Red Cross, the need for blood is always critical and especially now as January and February have been plagued by snowstorms, ice storms, and seasonal illness that resulted in low donor turn out and cancellations of blood drives. While Mother Nature has thrown the Midwest into hibernation mode the need for blood and platelets is always constant. Donors may call 815-946-3314 or go to the American Red Cross website to make an appointment. Walk-in donors are also welcome. The Student Council will also sponsor a bake sale during the blood drive to benefit Team Kate. The public is welcome.
