I’ve got a couple of items for you today, the first coming from our friends at the Webster Public Library.
Their last pop-up book sale of the year will take place this Saturday Oct. 10 from from noon to 3 p.m. in the library parking lot (because the library itself is not open that day). This is especially great news since last week’s sale had to be cancelled because of the weather. This Saturday’s weather, in contrast, looks spectacular.
Fill a bag for just $3 — both cash and checks will be accepted.
This is a great chance to stock up on books for the long winter months ahead. Teachers, this is a great opportunity also to add to your classroom libraries.

St. Martin Lutheran Church on Bay Rd. will host a pulled pork drive-through BBQ on Saturday Oct. 24, from 4:30 until they sell out.
The take-out dinner includes pulled pork, roll, salt potatoes, cole slaw and cookie for just $10. Proceeds will support the church’s annual Christmas Stocking Project reaching over 500 children and teens in Monroe and Wayne counties.
Pull into the parking lot, place your order using exact payment, and the dinner will be delivered to you as you drive up in your car.
St. Martin Lutheran Church is located at 813 Bay Rd.

The biannual Webster Community Blood Drive is coming back into town next Wednesday and Thursday from noon to 7 p.m.
This is the drive advertised by all those big white signs posted around town. It’s always a very popular blood drive, in part because in the past, donors could participate in several raffles for prizes donated by local businesses.
In April, at the height of the pandemic, organizers decided to turn the tables and support our local businesses — who were having a hard time staying afloat — by encouraging donors to purchase gift cards, which were then donated to our local first responders.
That was so successful that this month’s drive will be much the same. Gift card and cash donations will be accepted for our first responders for anyone who would care to donate.
So basically, by attending next week’s blood drive, you’ll be saving lives through your blood donation AND through your support for first responders.
The two-day drive will be held on Wednesday Oct. 14 and Thursday Oct. 15, from noon to 7 p.m. each day. It’s in a new location this time, at the Webster Firemen’s Building on Sanford Street, behind the Firemen’s Field.
To assure proper social distancing, appointments will be required. Log onto redcrossblood.org to sign up.
