North Central Missouri College to Host Blood Drive
North Central Missouri College will host a Community Blood Center blood drive on Wednesday, October 30th, from 11:00 AM to 3:00 PM at the Ketcham Community Center located at 1322 Mable Street, Trenton, MO. All faculty and staff, students, and the public are welcome.
Walk-ins are welcome or individuals can make an appointment at https://donate.savealifenow.org/donor/schedules/drive_schedule/83303
In the region, one in three people will need blood at some point in their life, and nearly one in seven hospital admissions require a blood transfusion. This means, nearly 600 donations are needed every day to meet hospital demand, and with a limited shelf life, supplies must be continually replenished. In just 60 minutes, you can donate one pint of blood and Save a Life, Right Here, Right Now, in your own community.
For more information regarding the Community Blood Center donor centers and mobile blood drives or how to set up your own drive, visit www.savealifenow.org or call 1-877468-6844.

October Meeting Minutes for the Southside Farm Club
The Southside Farm Club met at Washington Street Restaurant for lunch and their meeting on Wednesday, October 16, 2024, with nine members in attendance. The tables were decorated in Fall colors with fall leaves, a fall flower arrangement, a fall candle ring with a candle and fall decorated napkins. After lunch Babette Hill, President, called the meeting to order and presided over the meeting. The minutes of the last meeting was read by the October hostess and Secretary/Treasurer, Jeanie Gibson, which were approved as read. She also gave a treasurer’s report. Roll call was answered with, “What is a place that you want to visit and is on your bucket list". There were several answers including: The Great Barrier Reef in Australia, Alaska, Norway, Prince Edward Island, Italy and Marrakech. The hostess gift was won by Sue Brewer, which was a Wind & Willow Soup for One and a Wind & Willow Savory Herb and Pecan Dip Mix. The mystery gift was guessed by Marcy Meservey, which was a couple of adjustable forks for marshmallows to be used for Smores and a magnetic Halloween decorated pad of paper.
There was no unfinished business but during new business Marie Dolan mentioned that everyone was invited to attend the Bright Futures Trenton Celebration Luncheon on Friday, October 25, 2024, at 12 p.m. at the Ket-
cham Community Center Sugg Room. Marie Dolan will be representing our organization that day. Jacky Mack passed around several cards for member’s signatures, which will be mailed.
The hostess had the members, “Pass the Pumpkin” with a poem about who got the pumpkin next. Jacky Mack was the last person holding the miniature pumpkin and won one of the Fall decorations as a prize. Another contest was about names of phobias, of which Babette Hill had the most correct answers and won the other Fall decoration.
The program was given by Jeanie and was about her maternal grandmother, Doris Kelsall Alspach, and her mother, Leeila Kilburn’s album collection of antique postcards, greeting cards and Victorian calling cards. The hobby of collecting postcards is called “Deitiology”. That hobby is actually the third most common hobby in existence behind collecting money and stamps. Postcards were first printed and sent by the postal service since 1840. Postcards have remained popular with those who are interested in history, architecture and art. From 1900-1920 Valentine postcards were favored. Antique Valentine cards that are mechanical or articulated can be worth thousands of dollars as collectibles. Others can be found on eBay and Etsy for under $50.
The most popular greeting card of all time is the Hallmark Pansy card, which debuted in 1939 and has been labeled as
the best selling greeting card in history. It was first used as a Mother’s Day card, but has been a “Thinking of You” card since 1941. Christmas cards are the most popular seasonal card with about 1.6 billion units sold including boxed cards. The most popular greeting card company, Hallmark, first offered Valentine’s Day cards in 1913. Several antique Valentine cards were passed around.
During the mid to late 19th century Victorian calling cards were popular. They started out as simple unadorned cards to announce one’s arrival with a written name on a plain card before evolving into a highly embellished, full color art piece. In today’s world the calling card has all but been replaced by the standard business card. But for hundreds of years a calling card has remained an appreciated and memorable way to establish or strengthen a relationship between people. Women’s cards were squarish and fairly large usually about 2.5” x 3”. Men’s cards were smaller and more rectangle, meant to fit in a breast pocket, while women often carried their cards in specially made cases of silver, tortoiseshell, ivory or mother-of-pearl. Most cards displayed a name, title and sometimes the name of a house or district was included. Calling cards were an indispensable accessory to fashionable, upper class life in Britain, Europe and the eastern United States.
The November meeting will be hosted by Robin Meservey on November 20, 2024, at Washington Street Restaurant.

WIC Contract for 2025”
The Grundy County Health Department announces a contract continuance to provide WIC services for federal fiscal year 2025 has been signed with the Missouri Department of Health and Senior Services.
Women, Infants and Children (WIC) is a special supplemental nutrition program providing services to pregnant women, new mothers, infants and children up to their 5th birthday based on nutritional risk and income eligibility. The primary services provided are healthy, supplemental food, risk assessment, nutrition education and counseling, breastfeeding promotion and support, health screening and referrals to health care. To be eligible for WIC, applicants must have an income of less than or equal to 185% of the poverty level and be at nutritional risk. Migrant families are also eligible.
WIC supplemental food packages are specially chosen to provide foods high in protein, iron, calcium, and vitamins A and C. Eligible women and children receive fortified milk and cheese, eggs, whole grain bread products, hot or cold cereals, 100% fruit juices, and fresh or frozen fruits and vegetables. The WIC program recommends breastfeeding, provides breastfeeding support, baby foods, and infant cereal. For women who cannot or choose
not to breastfeed, infants may receive supplemental, iron fortified formula. WIC participants obtain their foods by using their eWIC cards for specific items at participating local grocery stores and pharmacies. Studies confirm that pregnant women who enroll in WIC during the early months of pregnancy have fewer low birth weight babies, experience fewer infant deaths, see the doctor earlier in pregnancy and eat healthier.
WIC is administered in Grundy County by the Grundy County Health Department. Persons interested in applying or who are in need of more information should contact the Grundy County Health Department. WIC clinics are offered at 1716 Lincoln Street, Trenton, Missouri by appointment.

There were still sparks of good things even though the scores were pretty lopsided. Still struggled with ball handling and energy on our side of the floor. Hopefully, we can bring back some energy and fine tune a few things we can control by keeping things light as we prepare for districts coming up.

The shelter was established in 1999 and has been at its current location since 2009, after a two-year rehabilitation of the structure donated by Jim and Maggie Bush for use by the shelter. The shelter operations are mostly funded through private donations and fundraisers, which over the years have allowed improvements to be made at the building to make it more usable for the dogs and cats that are kept there until adopted. Currently there are 34 dogs, including five foster dogs, and four cats being cared for by the shelter, its employees and volunteers. Rhonda Michael serves as the volunteer manager for the shelter and there are four paid employees. Dogs and cats brought into the shelter are either spayed or neutered before they are allowed to leave. Those who adopt an animal from the shelter pay a fee that provides funding for the spay/neutering process. The shelter recently held its annual Barktoberfest fundraiser, which was first held in 2019 to raise money to replace the roof on the shelter. Since that time, Barktober funds have been used for other building improvements and general operation of the facility.
During the business meeting, an update on the Missouri Day Parade was given by parade cochairs Steve Taylor and Brian Upton.
The program for the Oct. 24 Rotary Club meeting will be presented Ann Plumb of the Arts Alive organization, who will talk about the group’s performance of “The Hallelujah Ladies” being held later this month. Members of the cast will also be a part of the program presentation.
