Program
Our speaker today was Michelle Hoffmeister, Director of Public Relations at Salem Community Hospital.  Michelle discussed the gift donating blood.  60% of the population is capable of giving blood, but only 5% actually give.  900 pints of blood are needed in northeast Ohio every day.  SCH has partnered with the Red Cross to try to raise awareness & meet the needs of this area.

  Saddam Hussein phoned President Bush and said, "George, I called you because I had this incredible dream last night. I could see all of America, and it was beautiful and on top of every building, there was a beautiful banner."

Bush asked, "What was on the banner?"

Saddam responded, "It said Allah is God, and God is Allah."

Bush said, "You know, Saddam, I'm really glad you called, because last night I had a dream too. I could see all of Baghdad, and it was even more beautiful than before the war. It had been completely rebuilt, and on every building there was also a beautiful banner."

Saddam said, "What was on the banner?"

Bush replied, "I really don't know. I don't read Hebrew."
