Medical professionals anticipate that the Highlander student—whose father Brian Rote is a teacher and coach at Forest Meadow Junior High—will, at some point, need blood, so friends have organized a blood drive for Laura Beth, Dec. 15 from 8:30 a.m.-3:30 p.m. at the Knights of Columbus on Shoreview.

If possible, donors should reserve a time slot, here, to minimize wait times and allow Carter Blood Care to properly staff the event.

Of course, walk-ins are welcome too.
