How do you show someone you care? Maybe you plan a romantic candlelit dinner, buy a friend something small because it made you think of them or deliver a home-cooked meal when a family member is under the weather. Looking for another way to show you care? Donate blood!

The next Elmwood Murdock Blood Drive is

Tuesday, February 28 at the Elmwood Fire Hall from 8:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m.

Come to give blood by Feb. 28 for a $10 Amazon.com Gift Card** via email, thanks to our partners at Amazon.* Consider it a thank-you valentine from the American Red Cross to you!

During this month of candy and flowers, we hope you’ll make time for the greatest expression of love there is: giving the gift of life. We know it’ll warm the hearts of patients.

The Elmwood Murdock FCCLA would love for you to schedule an appointment. Each successful donation helps increase our chances for a larger scholarship for a 2023 EM Graduate this spring.

To schedule an appointment you may use the following link:

Village Updates

 Village Board Meeting

Board meetings are open to the public and are held every 1st and 3rd Wednesday of the month.

The meetings are held at the new Village Board office located at the Learning Center on the south side of town. 

Official agendas are posted the day before at the Post Office, Gas Station, and Village Office. Prior to the posting of the agenda, meeting items can be added to the meeting. At the end of each meeting is a Public Comment Section. Attendees have three minutes to speak about anything at this time. Further discussion on the topic can then be added to the next board meeting.  

The agenda is posted at the Elmwood C-Store, the post office, and the Village office.

Minutes can be viewed at the Village office or can be found online.
