Wherever a man turns he can find someone who needs him.

Knowing Cel Etherege is a great treasure; she is one of those very special people that make those around her feel special and warm. Blessed by good health, Cel has been making the world a better place for more than 90 years.

Many of you may not know Cel, even though some of you have been saved by her through her work at the Alabaster Red Cross. Cecilia along with countless other Red Cross volunteers work to make certain that when we need blood it is available.

Cel performs her volunteer work with a spirit of joy seldom encountered. Those lucky enough to be greeted by Cecilia after making a donation will no doubt receive the warmest of &8220;thank you&8221; and the sincerest of smiles. You see, Cecilia reminds us all how good it feels to give to others; she teaches us that lesson through her own life and how she lives it each day.

The largest blood drive Cel organizes each year is coming up on Friday, November 10th, the 22nd Annual Alabama-Auburn blood drive. Donors have the chance to save a life and also will have a chance to win two tickets to this year&8217;s Alabama vs. Auburn football game.

The Iron Bowl tickets have been generously donated by BE&K.;

Don&8217;t miss this opportunity to give the gift of life and to possibly win a pair of very sought after tickets.

But even if you do not win the tickets, you are guaranteed to leave a winner.

Just ask Cel.
