San Andreas, CA...Some of our local school children and churches are really going all out to help our local charitable organizations fulfill their mission during these tough economic times. Members of the Christian Family Learning Center Student Council spent part of their Friday filling food bags and seeing how our local Resource Connection Food Bank functions. They also brought with them thousands of paper grocery bags and egg cartons that they can use. Food Bank Director said that each bag they have to purchase is a significant cost to them so if you can save your paper grocery bags it really helps them stretch their food dollars. Foothill Community Church also made a $2,000 donation and Sarah Wilson presented the check during their visit...

October 3rd~9th is Latex Allergy Awareness Week~by Peggy Rourke Nichols |
|
Posted by: Kim_Hamilton on 10/02/2010 09:07 PM

October 3-9 is Latex Allergy Awareness Week. It is observed nationally to bring more attention to this unusual allergy. When I was diagnosed in 1998 only 3% of health care workers had this allergy. As of 2006 the statistics have increased. Approximately 1% of the general population now has this allergy (about 3 million people). 10-17% of health care workers now have this life changing allergy. Up to 68 percent of children with spina bifida have a latex allergy. Approximately 220 cases of anaphylaxis (severe allergic reaction) and three deaths per year are reported due to latex allergy.
