The Glenwood Senior Center will be holding a Flu Shot Clinic on Thursday, Nov. 13, from noone to 4 p.m. Brought to you by the Mayo Clinic, the cost for a flu shot is $25.00 or bring your Medicare Part B card. Pneumonia shots will also be available for an additional $30. If you have heart disease, you should get an annual flu shot. That’s the message put out by the American Heart Association, and the American College of Cardiology.

Studies have shown that death from the flu is more common among people with cardiovascular disease than among people with any other chronic condition. According to the CDC, the flu is estimated to cause more than 36,000 deaths in the United States. In addition it sends 225,000 people to the hospital. The rate of flu related complications is even higher for people with heart disease.

Collecting for UNICEF Tonight

Posted: October 31, 2008

I have received news from Heather Perry, Glenelg High School Key Club organizer, who shares that the club is currently collecting for UNICEF and the Kiwanis International Foundation to support raising money for the Swazi Children Care Project.

This is a lifesaving program that funds hundreds of neighborhood care points where orphaned and vulnerable children can receive a warm meal, shelter, medical care, education, and protection. The club will be accepting donations at the Glenelg football game, tonight, Oct. 31 from 7-9 p.m. as well as while they are out trick-or-treating around the Glenelg neighborhoods.

If you are interested in finding out more about their campaign, go to www.freewebs.com/glenelgkeyclub. The money that is collected will be sent to UNICEF so that they can provide much needed supplies to high-risk children that are tragically touched by HIV/AIDS. The club thanks the community in advance for your help to the cause, helping children in Swaziland and fighting HIV/AIDS in Africa.
