Saints Come Together for a Bloody Good Time

While attending the University of Saint Francis, all students are taught and expected to live the Franciscan way. Part of embracing this lifestyle means that we are expected to help people out whenever we can. People who need the help, those who are less fortunate than ourselves. 
The only issue with that being, Saint Francis didn't consider that those of us in college don't always have the means to give back due to student debt hanging over us. 
But there is another way to help give back! 
Start filling up on your garlic and cilantro because on Tuesday, September 6th, the University of Saint Francis is teaming up with the American Red Cross for a blood drive.
The best part is, you don't have to go to Dracula's castle to partake in giving blood, all you need to do is stop by the gymnasium at the Saint Clare campus which is located at 1550 Plainfield Road, anytime from 1 p.m. to 6 p.m. .
Still confused on how you can get involved? Provided below is contact information so that any type of question can be answered! 
For an appointment, call 1-800-RED CROSS (1-800-733-2767) or visit redcrossblood.org and search “60435” through the “Give Blood” link. You can save up to 15 minutes when you donate blood by using RapidPass. Visit [redcrossblood.org/RapidPass]redcrossblood.org/RapidPass for more information.

If you are an eligible type O, B - or A - donor, consider making a Power Red donation. Red blood cells are the most commonly transfused blood component.

For more information, please visit redcrossblood.org.

So don't be a (blood) sucker, come on down and join us on September 6th for a bloody great time!

A New Board Game Coffee Shop in Shorewood: The Critical Grind

 Noëllie Inard Credit: www.criticalgrind.com  On Thursday, November 10th, a new cafe named the Critical Grind Board Game Café opened in Shorewood, Illinois. This coffee shop is a little different from cafes already opened in the Joliet, Plainfield and Shorewood areas. Situated on 852 Sharp Drive in the Sharp Center off Black Road near Route 59 in Shorewood, the coffee shop, previously owned by a kickboxing studio, is close to the Bliss Hair Studio. The owners, Dana Buxbaum and her husband Shaun Tenant, mixed what they loved to create their idea of the perfect coffee shop. “I always wanted a coffee shop,” said Dana Buxbaum, “My husband and I combined our love of gaming with my vision of the coffee shop.” The coffee shop has made available bookshelves full of games such as Clue, The Serial Killer Trivia Game, Sorry, Dragoon and many more. In an interview with Patch editor, Buxbaum stated that they have “[...] about 400 games in [their] library” with family-friendly and inclusive...

  Rory Richards Facebook Certain Fields From Profile Bios, Including “Religious Views”; Does Not Say Why Facebook has announced plans to remove certain fields from profile bios. Starting on December 1, users will no longer be presented with an option to list their sexual orientation, their political views, their address, or their religious views on their personal profiles.
