Tech Connects Us in the Midst of the Storm

While we prepared, rode through and assessed the damage, technology informed us, entertained us and connected us to friends and family.

Blood Drive At Silverbrook Elementary

The Red Cross was in Fairfax Station Wednesday

Silverbrook Elementary School hosted the Red Cross on Wednesday with a blood drive. From 1:00 p.m. to 7:00 p.m., the school gymnasium was converted into a clinic. According to the Red Cross: "Every minute of every day, someone needs blood. That blood can only come from a volunteer donor, a person like you who makes the choice to donate. There is no substitute for your donation.  When you make a blood donation, you join a very select group. Currently only 3 out of every 100 people in America donate blood."
