SURPRISING STUFF
The City of Lake Geneva Police Department is hosting a blood drive on Thursday, September 18th, from 1:30 p.m. to 5:30 p.m.
Southeastern Wisconsin is experiencing a critical blood supply shortage and could use our help. The shortage puts patients at risk, with potential consequences including delayed surgeries and treatments for trauma victims, cancer patients, and those undergoing transplants. The situation is compounded by increased demand, missed appointments, and a generally low donation rate across the state and nation.
Certain blood types have less than a day’s worth of availability, which is dire for patient care. Blood transfusions are a lifeline for many individuals. Every donation has the potential to save multiple lives. To help support the police department and those in need, donate on Thursday upstairs in City Hall in the police training room.
The Geneva Lakes Antique & Classic Boat Show at the Abby Marina is just about here.
Saturday, September 27th, and Sunday, September 28th. This is an annual event held at the Abby Resort Harbor. The Blackhawk Chapter of the Antique and Classic Boat Society is passionate about the event and enjoys sharing it with all every year. Yes, it is open to the public and has free admission. The beautiful mostly wooden boats are on display Saturday from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. and Sunday from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m., including a boat parade Saturday at 4 p.m.
This is a great event for everyone, even if you are not a boat enthusiast. The boats are works of art and all will be congregated in one beautiful harbor on what is expected to be a beautiful day.
