Community Blood Center is counting on you in 2022. Make it your New Year’s resolution to give blood at the West Milton Lions Club community blood drive Wednesday, Dec. 29, 1-7 p.m., at the West Milton United Church of Christ, 108 S. Main St. Everyone who registers to donate will get a “Be a Hometown Hero This Holiday” fleece blanket with CBC blood drop logo. Appointments are encouraged. Schedule online at www.DonorTime.com or call 937-461-3220. The week between Christmas Day and New Year’s Day is a time of serious need. CBC is closed on New Year’s Day and has only two mobile blood drives scheduled between December 30 and January 2. Keeping blood type O in full supply remains a challenge. Many businesses and organizations are not hosting blood drives due to continued COVID-19 related restrictions and conflicts with holiday activities and travel. CBC’s New Year’s message is “We’re counting on you in 2022.” January is national and Ohio Blood Donor Awareness Month and CBC is asking community members to consider becoming a blood donor, donating more often, becoming a platelet or plasma donor, or sponsoring a blood drive. Call 937461-3220 to learn how you can help.

Family-Friendly Activities for New Year’s Day People spend so much time planning New Year’s Eve revelry that they may not consider that they have another day on the holiday calendar to enjoy after the clock strikes 12. New Year’s Day activities may differ significantly from the countdowns and parties of the night before, but that doesn’t mean it can’t be equally enjoyable. Chances are children are home from school for holiday breaks, meaning New Year’s Day activities should probably be family-friendly. Check out these family-friendly ways to spend New Year’s Day. • Catch (or play) a football game. New Year’s Day and football go hand in hand, and families can likely find a game on television to enjoy together. Of course, it’s also fun to burn off a few New Year’s Eve calories by playing a game of football in the backyard on January 1. • Host a New Year’s Day meal. Give people plenty of time to recover from last nights’s antics by inviting neighbors or friends and their children over for a brunch, late lunch or early dinner. Potlucks are great for these occasions because no one will likely want to cook for a crowd. • Enjoy a movie marathon. Spend the day in comfortable clothes and make a new family tradition. Select one movie for each family member to watch and then cue up the streaming service or dust off that DVD player. Use holiday mugs for hot cocoa and dig into any leftovers from holiday dinners. If a marathon at home isn’t up your alley, check out the showings at a nearby theater and enjoy an afternoon at the cinema. • Take a hike. Enjoy the cold weather up close and personal with a hike in the brisk air. State parks or nearby nature preserves may not be busy on January 1, making them an even more relaxing respite. • Tackle an organizational project. Get the whole family together and take on a project that has been pushed aside, such as organizing the garage or cleaning out the refrigerator. • Volunteer with a local charity. Give back to the community and start off the new year on a positive note by volunteering as a family. New Year’s Day presents an ideal opportunity to spend time together as a family.

THERE IS ONLY ONE PERSON WHO SHOULD DRIVE LOADED & THAT’S NOT YOU! BE SAFE! DESIGNATE A DRIVER!
(And Santa’s just loaded with presents, not alcohol)
When it comes to alcohol, it’s easy to be fooled by appearances. But the fact is, an “innocent” 12 oz. mug of beer or a “harmless” 5 oz. glass of wine is as guilty of causing intoxication as a standard 1 1/4 oz. shot of hard liquor. No matter what you’re drinking, one drink per hour sets the pace for responsible moderation. Eating foods that are rich in protein beforehand is another way to temper the effects of alcohol. But perhaps the most sobering fact of all, is that you really don’t have to drink to have a great time!
THIS HOLIDAY SEASON, BE MERRY BUT WISE! USE GOOD JUDGEMENT. IF YOU DRINK, DESIGNATE A DRIVER, CALL A CAB, OR CALL A LOVED ONE!
