The Coastal Bend Blood Center is literally the lifeblood that our hospitals cannot do without providing whole blood for hospitals within a 10-county area and serving over 1/2 a million Coastal Bend residents.

Self-contained bloodmobiles make donating blood convenient for donors and account for approximately 85% of the Blood Center’s total annual draw. Bloodmobiles operate seven days a week in order to ensure that hospital and patient needs are met.

So, whether you find one of their blood drives on their website's calendar or stop by their facility, give the gift of life when you get the chance. http://www.coastalbendbloodcenter.org

The Del Mar College Small Business Development Center (SBDC) is the premiere service provider to small businesses in the Coastal Bend Region working with hundreds of entrepreneurs every year. Through various outreach efforts, the SBDC is continuously developing and refining consulting resources and training workshops to meet the needs of the ever changing local small business community.

If you are a start-up or an existing business, you have the opportunity to expand your knowledge through free one-on-one consulting with your own business counselor. Our consultants can help you write a business plan, create sales projections, understand financial statements, or even develop new marketing strategies.

The SBDC offers over 80 seminars per year at the center and also has numerous online training seminars as well. These highly effective seminars are designed to help entrepreneurs at every stage of business growth.

A family looking for great entertainment and education value in Corpus Christi needs to look no further than purchasing a family membership for 2011 with the Corpus Christi Museum of Science and History and making that purchase in February.

Why February? Well, when someone gets a membership in February, they also receive a free pass in February to the Botanical Gardens and the Asian Cultures Museum and Educational Center. Folks buying their membership in February also receive 50% off admission to the Texas State Aquarium and the USS Lexington Museum for the month of February as well.

The value in February alone is phenomenal! Bringing a family to the museum twice pays for itself. I brought my kids to the museum for summer activities 2-3 times a week during the summer, and had my membership pay for itself many times over.

Some of the things you'll find at the museum include:

• Replicas of the Columbus ships
• Shipwreck artifacts from the La Belle expedition
• A kids' discovery zone, a hands-on learning play area
• Scavenger hunts for families
• Hands on learning activities for kids on weekends and throughout the summer
• Evening lecture series for adults, and more!
