SLICE OF NICE

The American Red Cross is soliciting nominations for the American Red Cross Everyday Heroes Breakfast, which will be held March 15 at the Clarion Hotel. The event will honor one hero from each of the following categories: fire, police, medical, 911 dispatch, adult good Samaritan, youth good Samaritan, military, educator, industrial safety and animal rescue. It is not necessary for a hero to have saved a life only to have made a difference, according to a release from the Red Cross. Those wishing to nominate someone as an everyday hero may pick up information at the Red Cross offices at 1835 E. Chestnut Expwy., or call 832-9500 to have a nomination form mailed to you. Nominations may also be submitted electronically by visiting the Red Cross Web site at www.redcross-ozarks.org. Nominations must be received by Jan. 31.
