First, today's weather:

Partly sunny and cool. High: 70, Low: 52.

Here are the top stories today in Rancho Bernardo-4s Ranch:

1. The supply is lower than it has been in a decade. The need is for at least 10,000 donations per week to meet the current demand. The Red Cross is low on blood. If you can donate blood, now is the time to do so. Not only will you be helping someone in need, those who give blood by Nov. 12 will be entered into a drawing to win a trip for two to Hawaii. Those who donate blood by Nov. 23 will receive a $10 Amazon gift card, courtesy of Amazon. To learn more: Click into parenthesis, then click the link. (Patch)

3. Live in Oaks North? Seven Oaks/the Remington Club? Or Bernardo Heights? If so, you might consider joining the Rancho Bernardo Community Council (RBCC). What does the RBCC do? Council members place flags on the medians on Rancho Bernardo Road, they orchestrate and work at the Halloween Carnival, the Safety Fair, the Fun Run 5K Race, the Earth Day Fair, and more. The Council serves the RB community. You are welcome to attend a meeting (currently online). To learn more: Click into parenthesis, then click the link. (Facebook)
