Thank you Rob Bossert at the Bossert Insurance Group for you generous sponsorship with the extra gift of cheese for all of the donors-much appreciated.

Our volunteers for this Blood Drive were Sandee Beaman, Mary Alice Moore, Rita Esch, Darlene Wallace and Mary Walrack, thank you for your service. We always appreciate the facility use at St. Mary’s St. Paul’s with Lexi Kinch and Paula Schuette and for The Dodgeville Chronicle and The Democrat Tribune for your generous posts.

Our next Blood Drive on April 24, 2026 at St Mary’s St. Paul’s from 11:30 to 5:30 is crucial for our Seniors as the American Red Cross donates a large Scholarship. Please donate to save lives and help a Senior. Our next Sponsor will be the Mineral Point Key Club.
