"I just wanted to thank you for your help today. You fulfilled my wishes and desires for that interaction. Having never done this before you made the situation relatively painless and for that I thank you. Thanks again for your help today!"
Mike B. (Letter to KT Diamond Jewelers)
The Molly Bowden Blood Drive, in honor of the fourth anniversary of Columbia Police Officer Molly Bowden's ultimate sacrifice, will be on January 9. Officer Bowden was shot in the line of duty on January 10, 2005, and died from her injuries on February 10, 2005. KT Diamond Jewelers is sponsoring and volunteering time to the event. They have also made available custom-designed and created replicas of the CPD badge in honor of Molly, displaying her badge number, 207. Donate blood on January 9 to help save lives in honor of Molly. The blood drive will take place from 11 a.m. to 7 p.m. at Grace Bible Church, 601 Blue Bridge in Columbia.
