The San Diego Automotive Museum is once again teaming up with the San Diego Blood Bank for their annual blood drive. The drive will take place on Saturday, March 11 from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. in the back lot of the San Diego Auto Museum known as “The Grove.” Appointments are preferred, but walk-ins are welcome, on an availability basis. Appointments can be made at this link: https://www.mysdbb.org/donor/schedules/drive_schedule/76348. Last year, the San Diego Automotive Museum blood drive saved 36 lives, thanks to its donors. This year, they are looking to save even more, with help from the local community. Every donor will receive a free family membership to the museum to explore the ever-changing exhibits of automotive history. Barona Speedway driver, Sunny Trent, will also be doing meet-and-greets the day of the blood drive. Because of blood donors, local patients receive the lifesaving care they need and hope for a healthy life. Read stories about blood recipients in Southern California and their families and how, together, they survived health obstacles and illnesses, and overcame serious traumas with blood transfusions. All blood types are needed. San Diego Blood Bank must collect more than 350 units of blood each day to meet the needs of local patients who are battling life-threatening blood disorders and cancers, suffering from traumas such as burns or serious accidents, or even complications from childbirth. One pint of blood can save up to three lives.

A co-production of OTC and Scripps Ranch Theatre, "Lucky Stiff" tells the story of Harry, an English shoe salesman who receives the unexpected news that he has inherited a fortune from his late Uncle Anthony, on the condition that he takes his uncle’s dead body on a special trip to Monte Carlo. If Harry refuses to fulfill all of his uncle's last wishes exactly, the inheritance will go to the Universal Dog Home of Brooklyn instead. It doesn’t help matters that Rita, Tony's lover with whom he embezzled $6 million behind her husband's back, and her brother Vinnie, who she blamed for the crime, have their own schemes to get at the money. Based on the novel "The Man Who Broke the Bank at Monte Carlo" by Michael Butterworth, "Lucky Stiff" is a life-affirming comedy served up with a dash of danger featuring romance, disguises, farcical chases, and an omnipresent corpse. Friday performances begin at 8 p.m., Saturday performances are at 2 p.m. and 8 p.m., and Sunday performances begin at 2 p.m. Oceanside Theatre Company on Facebook / Instagram
