It's a wet, gray afternoon in Hunt County, but we've just published another week's installment of the Hunt County Shopper, so there's still at least one reason to celebrate, despite the depressing weather.
Let's take a quick look at this week's edition, starting with the front page. January is National Blood Donor Month, and our front page story has tips from the Red Cross for successful blood donation. There's plenty of practical advice, like eating iron-rich foods, drinking plenty of fluids and getting lots of sleep the night before you donate. In addition, the Red Cross suggests that, after giving blood, donors take time to enjoy a snack and the good feeling that comes with knowing that they've saved as many as three lives. To find out how you can feel good and get a free snack, visit the Red Cross online to find out when and where to give blood!
Page six has another suggestion for helping disadvantaged members of the community - when you think about showing support to veterans, one of the last places you might think to look is in local nursing homes. The fact is, however, that there are many veterans in nursing homes, many of whom are living far from their families and do not receive many visitors. Resolve to give the gift of your time to a veteran in a nursing home this year!
On page eight, check out information about Girl Scout Cookies - that's right, it's almost Cookie Time! To find out when and where you can support your local Girl Scout troop by purchasing delicious cookies this year, visit TexasCookieTime.com!
