It is time once again for the Blood drive for Children’s Hospital and the Jimmy Fund Clinic. Our drive has recently took on another honoree Ashley’s grandmother, Annabelle Cashell, or Grammy as she is affectionately known by all her grandchildren. Annabelle was struck by a car on Friday September 30 while crossing Main Street in Stoneham Square. She received many serious injuries and has had three blood transfusions during her treatment. Annabelle has been a lifelong resident of Stoneham and has strong roots in the community. Annabelle is a retired town employee having held many secretarial positions at the Stoneham High School prior to her retirement. Our family is once again experiencing the importance of blood donations and the need for whole blood and blood products. The Blood collected at our drive is used at Children’s Hospital Boston and the Jimmy Fund Clinic at Dana Farber Cancer Institute. Our Drive will be held on Tuesday October 25 and Thursday October 27 from 1 PM to 8 PM both days at the West Side Social Club 4 Harrington Court Wakefield, MA 01880. Walk Ins are welcome, but appointments are suggested to avoid any possible wait.
