The American Red Cross has announced two changes in guidelines for
prospective donors. The changes are:

• 16-year-olds may now donate blood. Parents must sign a consent form,
prior to the 16-year-old donating. The signed form must be brought to the
blood drive the day of the event. Call either number listed above in order
to receive the form and other important information about donating blood.

• Donors who have had cancer may be eligible to donate again. The
guidelines state that at least one year must have passed since the donor’s
last cancer treatment. Donors must be reinstated before they will be
eligible to participate in the August 18 blood drive.


Please consider giving the gift of life. Donors may schedule an
appointment or receive more information by calling Angie at 763-972-2838 or
Mary at 763-972-6270.

On April 8th the Highway 12 road construction project started in Delano.  The work includes adding a center turn lane from the south side of the railroad overpass to Wright County Highway 139 and replacing the South Fork Crow River Bridge. Construction also includes city side streets, curb and gutters, sidewalks, water/sanitary sewers, street lighting and a water lift pump station. The bridge will be closed and the detour will be in effect from Monday, April 7 through Saturday, Nov. 15. Motorists will be detoured via Wright County Highway 139/County Line Road, Wright County Highway 30/70th Street Southeast, Wright County Highway 17/River Street and Wright County Highway 30/Bridge Avenue.

DelanoMN.com will do our best to keep you updated on the project with photos and links to information.
