“100 days of summer. 100 days of hope.”
Summer is more than 100 days of fun in the sun. It’s also 100 days to make a difference. Clear your calendar for what’s most important, and give blood or platelets with the American Red Cross this summer. Your donation can help ensure hope is available for patients in need during a time when donations often decline. Make an appointment to give blood or platelets today. Download the free Red Cross Blood Donor App, visit redcrossblood.org or call 1-800-RED CROSS.

Mo and Jo are staying with their Aunt Flo as their mom is on her honeymoon with the new man she has married.  Mo and Jo cannot fall asleep because they think that there is something (or someone) under the bed.  They hear strange sounds from under the bed.  They smell strange odors from under the bed.  That means that there must be something under the bed, right?  Suddenly, a Hot Water Bottle comes to life and tries to help the siblings go to sleep.  He suggests that they travel somewhere else so that they can escape whatever is under the bed.  In their travels, the trio visit Antarctica and meet a Spanish Penguin that recites poetry, and a Monkey in the South Seas.  Will they ever be able to fall asleep?  Tickets:  $5 adult and $2 Child.
