1. Blood Drive: Tomorrow (Oct. 10) from 2 to 7 p.m., Darlington will host a Blood Drive in honor of freshman Zane Anderson, who was diagnosed with Hypertrophic Cardiomyopathy (HCM) at age 13. The Blood Assurance Blood Vessel will be at the McCallie-Kennedy Library for anyone 16 or older who would like to participate. Click here for more information. Thank you to our servant leaders for organizing this event -- what a great example of Service Beyond Self in honor of a classmate!
