GOVERNOR'S MESSAGE

 

COUNTDOWN TO OUR DISTRICT-WIDE FOOD PACKAGING EVENT: 12 DAYS LEFT

By Pat and Skip Doyle

Our last two weeks have been jam-packed with events in our district. We officially visited five clubs, participated in a District Leadership Workshop and an Assistant Governors Meeting, interviewed a candidate for Peace Scholar, and attended the Acton-Boxborough club's Masquerade Ball, the Auburn club's Pancake Breakfast, four Membership Workshops in four corners of the district, and a District Trustees Meeting.  

As we write this, today is our first day without an official Rotary event in almost 14 days. Rather than complain, we want you all to know how much we have enjoyed the past 14 days. We took so much away from each event, and we learned so much about our district by participating in the Membership Workshops. Our thanks to all those members and facilitators who took time from their busy lives to discuss ways to increase the membership in our clubs. We only wish more of you had taken advantage of the convenience of these events.
 
The Masquerade Ball was loads of fun, good food, entertainment, and so many Rotarians having a good time. And, Pancake Breakfasts always bring out the best in our clubs. Hope to see you all at these events next year.
 
What is our goal for the next 12 days?
 
 
Raise as much money as possible to support our district's Stop Hunger Now Food Packaging Event on Saturday November 12 from 12:00 noon to 3:00 p.m. at the Solomon Pond Mall in Marlborough. 
 
We are thankful for the many members - young and old - as well as their families and friends who are volunteering to help us package the meals. But more help means we need more food to package. And that means we need more monetary donations to provide the raw materials. Please visit our Stop Hunger Now website and make a donation and volunteer. To donate and to volunteer, click here.
 
Always remember, you can call us with questions at 508-393-9031.
 
District Governors Pat and Skip Doyle may be reached at  pwdoyle2@verizon.net and skipdoyle2@verizon.net, 
respectively.

OUR PRESIDENTS SPEAK

Joe Badenhoff, Acton-Boxborough
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
Please tell us what factors helped you decide to join Rotary.
     
To join a service-based organization. I wanted to be involved with an organization that wasn’t just networking. Also, as a former RYLAn, I was exposed to Rotary many years ago, and it felt right to join as a member at that point in my life.

Sturbridge, Stoubridge Celebrate Sister Club ‘Rotary Friendship Day’
 
Since 1988, the presidents of the Rotary Club of Sturbridge and its Sister Club, the Rotary Club of Stourbridge, U.K., have exchanged letters of greetings and goodwill in October via snail-mail.  The chair of the Sturbridge Board of Selectmen also mails a proclamation declaring October 16 as Stourbridge/Sturbridge Rotary Friendship Day and likewise, the mayor of Dudley in the U.K. does the same for the Sturbridge Club.
 
Shown on top, left to right: Sturbridge President Otto Prohaska and Sturbridge Selectmen Chair Mary Blanchard.

This year for the first time, the greetings were exchanged live via Skype. Mary Blanchard, chair of the Sturbridge Selectmen, and Sturbridge Rotary President Otto Prohaska arrived early at the home of Past District Governor Klaus Hachfeld and his wife and fellow Sturbridge Rotarian, Glenys Hachfeld, to deliver their messages during the regular weekly luncheon meeting of the Stourbridge Club. Similar messages from the Stourbridge President Rob Franks and Dudley Mayor Mohammed Hanif were reciprocated.
 
The meeting concluded with President Franks toasting the health of the Sturbridge members using the tankard that Sturbridge had presented to them 28 years ago. The friendship has remained strong with nine visits alternating between clubs. Note the twinning banner in the background of the U.K. photo.

Down the Road Beer Company offered traditional German-style brews served at Concord restaurants, including Bondir and 80 Thoreau. The Craft Brewers Guild presented a portfolio of locally crafted beers. From the Boston area, were beers from Castle Island Brewery and from Stowe, Vermont, selections from the Von Trapp Brewing Company. Sample them all!
