Dear Editor, On behalf of Boston Children’s Hospital I would like to take this opportunity to thank the West Side Social Club in Wakefield for their generous and continued support of our blood drives.

FOLQ announced it is raising $30,000 to underground wires at the head of the lake, where to find a blood drive, and more things to know in Wakefield today.
1. Feeling like fall - Today will be sunny, but the high will only be around 63 degrees, according to the National Weather Service. Sounds like a great morning for a pumpkin spice latte. And I'll probably be saying that every day, considering delicious pumpkin spice lattes are. 2. Today in Wakefield sports - Boys varsity football plays Lynn English High School at 7 p.m. at home. 3. Donate blood, head to Six Flags! If you donate blood at the American Red Cross Blood Drive being held at Most Blessed Sacrament Church from 1-7 p.m. today, you will receive a 50% off pass to Six Flags New England! Just don't ride the roller coasters directly after donating blood. Probably not a good idea. 4. Office hours: Senator Katherine Clark (D-Melrose) is …
