On Saturday, April 21st at the Rotary Club of Bedford’s 6th annual Meals For Kids event, Bedford will reach an amazing milestone: 320,000 meals packaged for hungry kids in developing countries. To enable the meal packaging event, which will be held at Middlesex Community College, the club is in the process of raising $17,000 with major corporate support from BAE Systems and Anika Therapeutics. Support from smaller local businesses and individuals will also help, and the club is also seeking volunteers to join the fun of the packaging event itself.

Tell Rotary's Story as “People of Action” By Laura Spear, Zone 32 Assistant Rotary Public Image Coordinator
Every club and District can tell its story as “People of Action” in your respective communities. All you need is a good photo! Everything else is available for you on rotary.org to create your own ads — customized to the work your club is doing — for social media or print advertising.
Stories about fundraisers, contributions, or international service are an integral part of what we do, but they’re not necessarily People of Action stories. The People of Action campaign is designed to help better inform our local communities about Rotary and the work we do for the places we call home. To let the rest of the world know who we are, doesn’t it make sense to let our neighbors know first?
A People of Action story connects with people—by showing the positive impact Rotary clubs have on our communities. The best way to do this is by incorporating certain elements effectively into your story, including:
Send in your stories for the District’s newsletter of Making a Difference in your community! Write to karinmgaffney@gmail.com and send pictures with a brief article with details of how your club is volunteering to provide support and assistance to members of your community. Talk about the organizations with which you collaborate.
Tell the story of inspiring and selfless acts of kindness! Share and inspire so we can spread the word about all the good works being done by the amazing members of Rotary District 7910!
The next Rotary Means Business event in District 7910 will be held on Wednesday, March 14th from 5:30 to 7:30 p.m. at the SHERATON Framingham.
The cost is $15 for Rotarians and $20 for non-Rotarians until March 12th. It will be $20 at the door. Light appetizers will be served and a cash bar will be available.
District 7910 and District 7930 are collaborating to support another opportunity for clubs to make a difference doing “service” by providing meals to veterans at The New England Center and Home for Veterans (NECHV) located near Government Center in Boston.
The Week of Rotary covers 12 meal service shifts spread out between May 21 and May 27, in honor of Memorial Day. By proudly partnering with NECHV, you help to ensure that Veterans of every era have the resources they need to live with dignity and independence.
2017-18 President of Rotary International, Ian Riseley, has asked Rotary clubs to show their commitment to addressing climate change by planting a tree for every member.
This spring, District 7910’s clubs will plant at least 1500 trees – one for every Rotarian in our district. Tree planting is a great way to combat global warming,g/Stories/clubs-order-your-trees-from-the-district-make-a-difference-plant-a-tree beautify our communities, and generate positive publicity our clubs.
District 7910 will support clubs by purchasing trees in bulk at a discount. These trees may be reserved by your club, in groups of 25 trees, for $50 per 25 trees. Each seedling tree will be potted, so the trees can easily be distributed to Rotarians, students, and partner agencies. Your club may choose to apply a Rotary sticker to the tree’s pot for some projects.
