The Community Blood Center of the Ozarks (CBCO), the sole supplier of blood, platelets, and plasma to patients at over 40 healthcare facilities, is inviting donors to make a lifesaving impact this July and enjoy some cool summer rewards.
Throughout the month of July, donors who give blood at any CBCO donor center or mobile blood drive will receive:
Special One-Day Event: Pint for a Pint Thursday, July 3
As part of the summer celebration, CBCO will host its annual Pint for a Pint blood drive on Thursday, July 3, with exclusive rewards available for one day only at all four donor centers in Springfield, Joplin, Bentonville, and Springdale. In addition to the July rewards, donors that day will also receive:
Donation Hours on July 3:
**All donor centers will be closed Friday, July 4, in observance of Independence Day.
“The temperature is rising, and so is the need for blood,” said Michelle Teter, Media Relations Representative for Community Blood Center of the Ozarks. “Summer is a challenging time for the blood supply. School breaks, vacations, and busy schedules often negatively affect summer blood donations, but the need for blood never takes a vacation. We are encouraging everyone to come in, roll up a sleeve and help us keep the heat off the local blood supply. Your donation will give others, right here in the Ozarks, the chance to make new summer memories.”
Appointments are strongly encouraged to help avoid wait times.

Choosing a restaurant as a couple can feel like a high-stakes game of culinary compromise. One wants tacos, the other’s craving sushi—and somehow, it always ends in pizza. The real challenge isn’t finding a place to eat; it’s surviving the decision process with your appetite and relationship intact.
On our show recently, we talked about this roadblock that so many couples face. We asked Dove listeners to help us out with ideas—and they came through! Maybe these suggestions will help you too.
One great idea is “Dating the Alphabet.” It’s a fun challenge where you dine out A to Z. Find a place you haven’t tried before—start with A, then B, and work your way to Z. It turns dinner into a collaborative and exciting adventure!
Another fantastic tip: write the names of different restaurants on slips of paper, toss them in a bowl, and randomly draw one. Easy, fun, and spontaneous.
And if you’re into apps and a little bit of risk, try “Restaurant Roulette.” There are some great apps with wheels you can spin to decide where to go.
All of the above sound SUPER fun… Let’s eat!

Summer is officially here and it’s already HOT outside. We’re all going to be looking for ways to cool off. Maybe you stay inside in the cool AC. Maybe you keep a pitcher of cold iced tea or lemonade nearby. Some people like to head to the lake and catch a breeze and a cold beer. As for me, I’m gonna be floating in the backyard pool.
I have to give my wife, Kelly, a big shout out for working so hard to get the Howard pool up and running. She was worried about the grime and the leaves and the thousands of tadpole eggs, but she’s got it all clean and looking good. I’m sure she’s floating in it right now and she deserves it. It takes a little work to get a pool clean but now we enjoy the fruits of her labor. Whatever you’re doing this summer, have fun, stay safe and most of all stay cool!
While the weather hasn’t got the memo, it’s (unofficially) summer in the Ozarks! How lucky are we to spend the summer in such a special place? I would put the natural beauty of the Ozarks up to any place in America.
The weather, well, that’s a different story.
If you’re looking for great places to visit nearby, here are a few of my favorites:
Before long, the heat and humidity will settle in—classic Ozarks summer. Those steamy days will roll into muggy evenings lit by fireflies dancing in the dark. The best part about spending summer in the Ozarks? Some of the greatest joys of summer around here don’t cost a thing.
