GOVERNOR'S MESSAGE

Our District Food packaging event was a solid success

By Pat and Skip Doyle

 

Last week was certainly an amazing one, full of highs and lows. In this Governor's Message, we wish to accentuate the highs.
 
The week began with the nomination of Pam Anastasi of the Rotary Club of Billerica as District Governor Nominee Designate - or, in Rotary language, the DGND - for the 2018-2019 Rotary year, which begins July 1, 2018. She is known to many of you as the coordinator of district events during the past two years as an assistant governor, a member of the Board of Trustees and the current assistant governor coordinator. We are pleased to welcome Pam to the District Executive Board.
 
We officially visited two Rotary clubs: Tewksbury and Tyngsborough-Dunstable. These were numbers 49 and 50 of our visits with just one more left - tomorrow in Uxbridge. All of our visits put together have so far been the highlight of our year as district governor. Our plan now is to begin to revisit all of you at a more leisurely pace. Please invite us to your events and ceremonies as we truly wish to continue to build the bonds of friendship between District 7910 and our 51 Rotary clubs.
 
Thank You! Thank You!! Thank You!!!
 
Our District Food Packaging Event on November 12 at the Solomon Pond Mall in Marlborough was a solid success.
 
More than 100 volunteers from around the district packaged 20,000 meals, which will be sent to Haiti to help feed the children left homeless by the hurricane. These volunteers were Rotarians and their friends and families, young and old There were Interactors from local clubs, passersby who wanted to help and past and present participants of Rotary Youth Leadership Awards. We raised more than $4,000 toward our goal of $5,000 - so we are still actively seeking donations.
 
Shown, are District Governor Pat Doyle (far right) and Susan Rack (second from right) of Brookline Rotary.
 
It is hard to pick out a highlight from the event, there were so many. One is perhaps the numbers of people with whom we were able to talk about what Rotary is - the reality of Rotary, not the perception. This event puts us a little further toward our goal of making Rotary more visible and more real in our district. Thank you also to the Solomon Pond Mall for allowing us to utilize their space for this event.
 
In closing, in place of this week's "Our Presidents Speak" article, please read this article about Al Bowers of the Rotary Club of Athol-Orange, which was published in the November 9 edition of The Boston Globe:
 

Veteran gave in Vietnam and continues to give today

By Thomas Farragher

As a young boy in tiny Royalston, Alan Bowers learned early the value of hard work.
 
He lived across the street from the town library and his great-grandfather – a stern and burly man who ran the local general store – led him there one day in the late 1940s.

Chelmsford's Comedy Show A Howling Success
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
The Rotary Club of Chelmsford's Comedy Show on November 5 at the Radisson Hotel in Chelmsford was both a financial success and a fun-filled evening. Those attending enjoyed snacks and drinks as they viewed a variety of raffle baskets before the show.
 
Comedian David DiLorenzo opened the show and kept the audience laughing for a half-hour. Then, hypnotist Tommy Vee took over. For about an hour and a half, he hypnotized  20 volunteers and had them keep the audience thoroughly enjoying themselves.
 
The evening concluded with the basket winners being drawn. The Lowell Five, Enterprise Bank and Village Electric were among sponsors who supported the event.

District Membership Workshops a Huge Success
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
District 7910 conducted a total of four regional Membership Workshops on October 24, 25 and 26.

The workshops were well-attended and the discussions were wide-ranging and very interesting. The comments are being summarized and will be distributed to all participants.

Dear fellow Rotarians,

At the 1917 Rotary Convention in Atlanta, Past President Arch C. Klumph proposed a revolutionary idea: an endowment fund for the purpose of doing good in the world. Since then, The Rotary Foundation has grown tremendously and in many ways, serves as the foundation for Rotary as we know it today.

Membership Corner: Rotary clubs honor veterans
 

By Tom Sturiale

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
Each year on the 11th hour of the 11th day of the 11th month, we celebrate and honor all the veterans - those alive and those who sacrificed their lives - throughout our history. November 11 was once honored as Armistice Day, the day on which World War One, the “war to end all wars,” ended in the surrender of Germany to the allies in 1918 in a small railroad car in Compeigne, France. Twenty-two years later, a vengeful Germany forced a humiliated France to surrender after only six weeks of war in the very same railroad car – so began World War Two, and so much for the “war to end all wars.”
