The American Red Cross is asking all eligible, healthy blood donors to make and keep appointments to donate blood in the coming weeks. As the cold and flu season approaches, the Red Cross hopes to maintain a stable supply of blood to meet hospital needs. Blood donors who have received the seasonal flu shot are still eligible to donate blood if they are feeling well on the day of the donation.

WVVY 93.7 LPFM Community Radio and the Mediterranean restaurant have announced the first annual Halloween Hellraiser, a party to be held at Mediterranean in Oak Bluffs, off Seaview avenue, on Halloween night. Doors open at 8:30 p.m. With music from the Gypsy Sound System and featured WVVY deejays, a buffet dinner, and a costume contest with a $500 first place prize, this may be the go-to party for Halloween night, as well as a great opportunity to help support community radio on Martha’s Vineyard.
