Trashy:
Normal trash day rules apply this holiday week. Not like last week when trash day was pushed back a week due to the Christmas holiday. Hmmm….maybe they read Peter’s blog? https://caughtinsouthie.com/feature/no-trash-pick
Give blood:
In honor of the 5th Anniversary of the death of City Councilor (and local legend) Jimmy Kelly, a blood drive will be hosted in his honor by his three children. On Saturday, January 7th from 9:30-2:30 at South Boston Catholic Academy (O and East Broadway). If you would like to donate blood, kindly call the American Red Cross at 1-800-733-2767– to reserve a time slot. If you donate, you will receive a free pound of Dunkin Donuts coffee. Wowee!
