FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE  

The Community Blood Center hosts blood drive at 

the WWII Building sponsored by the Wautoma Kiwanis 

Whispering Pines and Rehabilitation  

Healthy and eligible community members are encouraged to schedule a donation to help support the transfusion needs of patients.  

Wautoma, Wis. (October 31st) – The Community Blood Center (CBC) is hosting a blood drive on Monday, October 31st from 10:00am – 5:00 p.m. at the WWII Building in Wautoma.  

There is no substitute for transfused blood, so when a patient is facing cancer treatment, surgical procedures or the uncertainty of a traumatic injury, it’s volunteer donors who help ensure the blood needed is available.  

“Blood donors are lifesavers. They selflessly give knowing their blood donation can make a difference in someone’s life, someone they will never meet,” said Kristine Belanger, Vice President, Operations and Chief Operating Officer. “This type of commitment to community and to helping others is powerful.”  

Every two seconds someone in the U.S. needs blood. To meet that need, about 35,000 blood donations are needed across the country every single day. CBC is the sole provider of all blood, platelets and plasma to nearly 30 hospitals throughout the Midwest.  

This blood drive is open to the public. Healthy and eligible donors are encouraged to schedule a donation by calling 800-280-4102.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Contact: Carolyn Schmidt 

Waushara County Department of Aging (920) 787-6509 

The Waushara County Department of Aging in partnership with UW Extension is pleased to announce the return of the Aging Mastery Program®. The 6-week health and wellness workshop is free for adults 55 and over, and begins October 6th.  

“This cutting edge, educational program is for adults who want to get as much information as they can from a variety of sources on a broad range of topics, before making decisions that are best for them as they age,” says Carolyn Schmidt, Programs Specialist for Waushara County. “Participants leave with actionable items every week that can help increase their well-being and help improve their overall outlook on aging.” 

The goal of this program is to empower older adults to make and maintain small but impactful changes. The classes will explore navigating longer lives, physical activity, sleep, healthy eating and hydration, financial fitness, medication management, advanced planning, healthy relationships, falls prevention, and community engagement. Easy to follow educational materials developed from highly trusted sources are provided, a checklist of potential next steps, and a system for tracking behaviors. The program was developed by the National Council on Aging (NCOA).   

The workshop runs Thursdays from October 6th – November 10th, from 9:30 til 11:30 at the Waushara County Courthouse, Demonstration Room. Registration is required. Contact the Department of Aging for more information or to register for the program: (920) 787-0403.
