Red Cross blood drives slated in Caro and Ubly Upcoming American Red Cross blood drives includes 2 opportunities to give the “gift of life” in this area. Drives are slated for Thursday, March 1, from 1 to 6:45 p.m. at Ubly High School, 2020 Union St., Ubly; and Monday, March 19, from noon to 5:45 p.m. at St. Paul Lutheran Church, 503 State St., Caro. The Great Lakes Region of the American Red Cross needs to collect some 700 units of blood every day to help meet the needs of hospital patients. In fact, roughly every 2 seconds, someone in the United States needs blood. Eligible blood donors must be at least 16 years of age, weigh a minimum of 110 pounds and be in general good health. Donors are asked to bring their Red Cross blood donor cards or other form of positive identification. Joe Janssen
