Give Blood For Sid The Crossing Guard

The Montclair chapter of the American Red Cross will be hosting a blood drive for Sidney Lichter, the long-time crossing guard at Linden and Grove who was hit by a pickup truck during last month’s snowstorm.

The blood drive is this Thursday, March 11, from 2:30 to 7:30 p.m. and if you are going, you need to make an appointment by calling 973-746-1800. The Red Cross office is at 63 Park Street up the block from the main building of the YMCA.

The rules about donating blood have changed a bit. You can learn whether you are eligible by consulting this page on the Red Cross’ Web site.

Lichter will soon be undergoing hip surgery. We’ll let you know as soon as we have more details.

Here’s a great idea that we’re borrowing from our friends at Baristanet, Montclair’s local blog: Take out a classified ad on MyVeronaNJ anytime between today and the end of January, and we’ll donate 100% of the proceeds to help the recovery effort in Haiti.

This is a win-win: You’ll get money for that old swingset, find a sitter, or get the word out about your new jewelry/vitamin/dog-walking business, while helping the Haitian relief effort. Taking out a classified ad with us is $20 for a 30-day listing and $40 for up to 4 photos. That’s an introductory price, so take advantage of this opportunity to reach a concentrated audience of potential customers. And reach ‘em you will–we broke the magical 1,000-page-views-a-day ceiling 2 weeks ago.

Just click on the word Classifieds (it’s under the black navigation bar that’s under our logo), then click on the green “Place Ad” tab. The Web site will guide you through everything you need to do, including payment using a secure PayPal system. We’ll send everything we get from these ads to Haiti via the Red Cross.
