From District Governor Joyce Graff: "I am asking your club to make a New Year's resolution: support at least one global project this year. If your club can only afford $100, please choose one of our global projects and join in the pleasure and good feelings that come from making a difference in the world."

The Rotary Leadership Institute (RLI) is coming to a location near you. In fact the District RLI will be held January 18th at the Assabet Valley Regional Technical High School from 7:30 AM to 3 PM.
DGE Johnny Ahern is excited to announce that registration for the 2025 Northeast Presidents-Elect Learning Seminar (NEPELS) (formerly PETS) is open! This learning seminar is for all members serving as club presidents or assistant governors during the 2025-2026 Rotary year.
Over 20,000 meals were packed on December 15th at Nashoba Regional High School, and it is all thanks to RYLA alumni Caterina Romano of Bolton, MA. Caterina attended RYLA this past year, and heard the Meals of Hope representative talk about hunger and food insecurity in our area. “I really loved the process and the organization when I heard the presentation at RYLA” said Caterina after the event. “It was awesome to see our Hockey Team here, other classmates, and so many community members helping.”

The Rotary Youth Leadership Awards Conference, aka RYLA 2025 dates are set for June 27, 28, 29, 2025.
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. Our full program includes a variety of challenges and enriching sessions which allow them to learn about themselves and others. Students will engage with small and large groups in a program created by student input.
Throughout January, we are collecting new or gently used/clean blankets, towels, sweatshirts, sweat-pants, jackets, warm socks, hats, and gloves. Many of their clients wear sizes XL-XXL, but they will take all sizes.

The Rotary Club of Natick has been working to address one of Rotary International's core mission - increasing literacy - since 2006. Every year since then, the club has organized and participated in a Dictionary Project, in which every third grader in the Natick Public Schools receives their very own, customized, copy of "A Student's Dictionary". The first 2/3 of the book serves as a traditional dictionary, the last 1/3 is an almanac filled with many useful facts the students find most interesting.
