GERMANIA TO HOST BLOOD DRIVE NEXT WEEK

  

A local company will be hosting a blood drive next week.

Germania Insurance will host its community blood drive next Wednesday and Thursday (Aug. 15‒16) at their offices in Brenham.

The Gulf Coast Regional Blood Center’s donor coach will be at the Germania parking lot from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. next Wednesday, and from 1 to 5 p.m. next Thursday.  The Blood Donor Coach will park in the back parking lot of the Germania office, 507 Highway 290 East in Brenham, to accept donations.
