The Wakefield Rotary Club is pleased to donate $1,000 to the Wakefield Council on Aging. Council Director Judy Luciano will designate these funds to be used for the upkeep of the transportation vans. “Over 150 people use our vans,” noted Luciano. “You can imagine the upkeep costs. This donation will allow us to continue to serve the Wakefield seniors.” For more information on the Wakefield Rotary Club, visit www.wakefieldrotaryclub.org
