The Rotary Club of Southborough held it’s first ever Oktoberfest event on Oct. 19, 2025 at the Gazebo in downtown Southborough. It was a fun-filled afternoon of German-inspired eats, live music, & community spirit, all while helping the local Southborough Food Pantry. Club members were easily spotted in Oktoberfest finery, directing people to parking & vendors. Pantry Food items were collected at the event and the club also collected just over $600 in cash for the pantry as well. Everyone enjoyed the seasonal Oktoberfest beers, Bratwurst, Frankfurters, Apple Strudel donuts and Apple Cider.

As we move into November — Rotary Foundation Month — I’m filled with gratitude for the energy, compassion, and dedication I’ve witnessed across District 7910. Over the past few months, I’ve had the privilege of visiting 44 of our 47 clubs, and each visit has reaffirmed what makes our district so remarkable: the commitment to “Service Above Self” and the spirit of fellowship that connects us all.
Rotary is on the move in District 7910—and soon, our communities will see it the moment they drive into town! A huge thank you to the District 7910 Trustees for their recent approval of the purchase of FOUR brand-new road signs for every Rotary club in District 7910 to help strengthen Rotary’s visibility and present a fresh, unified image across the district. This will include two reflective and two non-reflective signs (18"H x 24"L)

The Rotary Club of Littleton (MA) is once again holding a winter clothing/blanket drive for the Lowell Transitional Living Center (LTLC), starting immediately and continuing until December 31.
The LTLC is located in downtown Lowell and serves the entire Merrimack Valley. It is a client-centered shelter for homeless adults, providing shelter and services for 60 adult males and 30 adult females. For nearly 40 years, the LTLC has offered short-term housing, food and support services to those on their journey to permanent housing.
Last year the LTLC served 1162 individuals, and is already seeing an increase in the number of individuals in need of help. As the only organization providing a Winter Emergency Bed Program in this area, the LTLC anticipates a dramatic increase in those numbers over the next few months.
Let us do the breakfast cooking for you! Pancakes, scrambled eggs, sausage, juice, coffee. Then walk across the parking lot and watch the annual Littleton High School vs Ayer-Shirley High School Football game!!
On November 2nd, BVR helped CMDart prepare for the next local disaster by removing EVERYTHING from their response trailer, cleaning & inventorying all items and totes, tossing expired or damaged items, cleaning the inside of the trailer, and the returning the items to the trailer in an organized and accessible way. It was a dirty job, but will be greatly appreciated the next time CMDart volunteers need to quickly access items in an emergency situation.
