Congratulations to Giustino Puliti on receiving an American Red Cross Lifesaving Award. Because he put CPR skills learned just two weeks earlier into action, Terry Frank is enjoying more time with his wife, children and grandchildren. Would you know what to do?

A conversation with one of his longtime friends set him straight on something that would change his mind – and put him in a donor chair. redcross.org/local/dc-va-md…

Before an outage, keep appliance thermometers in your refrigerator (40°F or below) and freezer (0°F or below). During an outage, keep refrigerator and freezer doors closed as much as possible.
After power is restored, remember: when in doubt, throw it out.

Happy National Doughnut Day. We're raising a doughnut to our Donut Dollies, who served up coffee, doughnuts, and hometown cheer to service members from WWII through Vietnam.
