Annually District 7910 hosts a local Rotary Leadership Institute so that Rotarians can learn about the many aspects of Rotary. It is a great place to learn new ideas and to join forces with Rotarians across our District (and other districts too).
On November 30th, the City of Lights parade in Lowell greeted the holiday season and we were able to add some sweetness to the event. Every year, we organize and carry out our marshmallow roast. We sell jumbo marshmallows on sticks and tend coal fired grills for kids and adults to enjoy a tasty treat and steal some warmth. We're grateful to be a part of the city's winter festivities and raise funds for deserving students.
-- Bill Tobin, Rotary Relationship Manager, ShelterBoxIn celebration of this holiday season, I want to share how thankful I am for all you do for Rotary and for ShelterBox.
I joined Rotary 20 years ago next week and began volunteering for ShelterBox in 2010. To say volunteering for ShelterBox was a life changing event for me is not hyperbole. I found how I can truly make Service Above Self a part of my life as a ShelterBox volunteer. We need more Rotarians in District 7910 to help us grow.

RYLA is 3 days of action packed, interactive and introspective sessions with and specifically for High School Sophomores. Activities are designed to help students to stretch and grow.

Students will engage with small and large groups in a program created by student input.
A wonderful way to support the Rotary Foundation is to make a bequest as part of your estate planning. Like any Rotary donation, you have choices where the money can go. Giving to Annual Share will support District-led projects in the near term. Giving to the Endowment will spread your gift over many many years.

The Rotary Club of Weston and Wayland will be selling Holiday trees at Land's Sake farm in Weston on Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays between Thanksgiving and Christmas (or until we sell out). All proceeds will go to college scholarships for Weston and Wayland high school seniors, and our conservation, food security and other charitable projects.
We are looking for volunteers to help us sell the trees and, of course, to get a tree! Sign up here to volunteer. There are two 3-hour shifts a day from 9am - 3pm on Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays until we sell out.
It's fun, fellowship, and usually a hot cuppa something and snacks.
Note: With the very dry weather, some Massachusetts Christmas Tree farms are not cutting their trees, so supplies may be tight and prices may be high.
Rotary Action Group for Peace is holding a reassuring webinar helping us all understand how we can do our bit in working toward peace in the world. They will present a road map for global involvement in planning a better future. Feel free to invite your friends.

Thanks to the Southborough Rotary Club, about a dozen refugee families staying in a Westborough hotel will now have warm coats this season. Rotary members quickly mobilized to collect new and gently used coats tailored to the sizes and preferences of each family member. Volunteers spent hours ensuring every detail was addressed. Many members even added personal, handwritten notes to welcome the families and brighten their day. As new families arrive and others transition to permanent housing, the need for support continues. Yet again, Rotary’s motto, SERVICE Above Self, has proven true.
