In Westwood on Thursday evening, January 22nd, former New England Patriots captain Matthew Slater drew over 200 guests to the One World, One Heart fundraiser which he co-hosted, and helped to raise $50,000 to support the Massachusetts General Hospital's Global Cardiovascular Health Program, announced a program representative.
The cocktail fundraiser was held at Mercedes-Benz of Westwood and co-hosted by Dr. Shahrzad Slater, a pathologist and founder and executive director of the Slater Family Foundation. Funds raised from the event will be directed the program's work to combat rheumatic heart disease in Cape Verde.
Supporters were given the opportunity to enjoy Cape Verdean cuisine and a raffle and hear speakers that included the co-hosts, two cardiologists, and a Cape Verdean patient.
Patchy rain nearby, with a high of 47 and low of 28 degrees. Sunny in the morning, patchy rain nearby in the afternoon, light rain in the evening, clear overnight.
The fire station needs to be built ASAP. This situation for the firefighters and the town is just ridiculous. The need for a new fire station out ways the costs that are being argued over.
To the Board (or what's left of it), this continuous behavior of placating the residents is insulting.
Please don't blame Joe. Everyone knows it has always been 2 against 1 since day one of his (elected) term.
Not necessarily blaming one. But we need Board members who aren't afraid to stand their ground and say no. Enough of the go along to get along mentality. This needs to end. That's why it's imperative that we expand this Board to five Members. We need better representation.
