New this year! Bronze, Silver, and Gold Awards to recognize club and individual efforts to support the environment, fight climate change, reduce plastics use, or other initiatives that will help us leave a cleaner, more healthy and livable world for our kids and grandchildren.
For more information about the Environmental Awards click HERE. If you still have questions feel free to contact Sue Peghiny at suef0503@gmail.com.
The goal of these awards is to encourage clubs and members to undertake environmental initiatives and projects.
Annually, one of the most frequently cited goals among Rotary Club Presidents is "increase awareness of the significant contributions our Club makes to our communities, and the impact of our efforts." Rotarians do the work and rarely share the impact with focus and intensity. Successful public image initiatives share those stories, raise awareness, stimulate interest, and generate membership interest.
The 2024 District 7910 Public Image Awards will celebrate excellence, spotlight effective, high-impact initiatives featuring websites, social media, promotional materials, and overall "presence."
On Saturday, February 10th the Wachusett Area Rotary Club will bring Valentine’s cheer to 425 senior citizens who will attend their annual “Hearts of Rotary” breakfast. Held at The Manor in West Boylston, the club has partnered with senior centers in their service area (Boylston, Holden, Paxton, Princeton, Rutland, Sterling and West Boylston) to extend invitations to the event, which requires pre-registration.
The event runs from 8:00 am until approximately 11:00. Volunteers are needed to help with set up, serving during the event, and for cleanup. Please reach out to Chairperson Richard Traina at Traina@comcast.net to sign up to help.
Come together with Rotarians from around District 7910 for an excellent dinner at a beloved restaurant in Needham, Sweet Basil.
Up to 50 good people -- Rotarians, their family and friends -- can enjoy a fabulous dinner with a fixed price and the opportunity to BYOB.
Dinner will be served "family style," which means you don't have to decide and you can try each of three starters and three main course dishes. To see the menu, and more info, click "read more" below.
Natick Rotary Club’s “Dinner On Us" offers multiple chances to win gift cards to great area restaurants. The Grand Prize is worth $2,000!
The "Dinner On Us" sweepstakes will raise money for their Natick Community grants program and for an international non-profit, Humans for Education, that trains women entrepreneurs in Kenya, breaking the cycle of generational poverty.
Yes, all Rotary Members in the USA (and beyond) get their monthly hard-copy ROTARY Magazine mailed to them at home. But do we read it? Ummm, well I have to confess, it depends! HOWEVER, take a look at the current issue; it’s inspirational:
Now Go to PAGE 21! What do you see?
Oh, it’s a promotion, encouraging members to donate to the Rotary Foundation which, as Club Foundation Chair I totally endorse, BUT LOOK AGAIN AT THE PICTURE. What do you see?
Does the Rotary Community Corps of Sturbridge & Southbridge have a familiar ring about it? How about its “Community Food Collaborative” project, the one that annually provides 3,000 pounds of cleaned produce to the St. John Paul II Food Pantry in Southbridge! ……….. Hallelujah, you got it now, right!
In many countries, advancements in technology have led to a decrease in the use of braille books. However, in the villages of Malawi, braille books are still in high demand but not always readily available. To address this need, the Rotary Club of World Disability Advocacy is focused on supplying these villages with books for children who aspire to learn. We are looking for books in countries like the United States that are no longer in use, and we will ship them to Malawi. These books will be distributed to the areas that need them the most. Please write to RotaryWDA@gmail.com Thank you.
Plan ahead for this popular event. Have something that needs fixing? Don't throw it away before you give the Repair Café a chance to extend its life!! Bring it to Scott Hall 24, Vernon Street, Framingham on Feb 24 from 2 to 5. Co-sponsored by Rotary Club of Framingham and Transition Framingham.
