Please join us in Watertown on February 24th from 8:30am-12:30pm for our SECOND Rotary Service Saturday!

Do you sometimes wish there was something you could volunteer to do for a few hours to assist community members and engage with other Rotarians and non-Rotarians? Then Service Saturday may be just what you've been looking for. Join us for our next event and learn how you can jump into this program with your club and in your community.

The opioid crisis has affected almost all of us in some way and it is time to take action. This year's World Peace and Understanding Dinner on February 28th will be focused on this issue.

Join us as we salute the 2017-2018 Rotary Service Heroes. This year’s Rotary theme is Rotary: Making a Difference and DG Karin’s number one goal is to strengthen clubs and strengthen communities by increasing the hands-on service that each club is doing.
Each club President has been invited to nominate one “service hero.” It can be someone from their club who should be recognized for what he or she has done in their club, in the community, or beyond.
The recipient should be someone who has strongly demonstrated “Service Above Self,” and may be an “unsung hero” who has not previously been recognized for his or her efforts.
The recipient could also be a non-Rotarian whose actions are in line with the Rotary motto of “Service Above Self.”
Rotary Club of Westford assisted with the 2nd Annual Senior Valentine Luncheon held at First Parish Church United in Westford.
Westford Rotary gave each Senior attending (over 120) a small gift and served the Luncheon. It was a privilege to honor all the seniors on Valentine’s Day which made for a very special day.
On February 2, 2018, about 60 people attended the monthly Guest Table community dinner at First Parish Church of Stow and Acton. The menu consisted of salad and bread, ham with pineapple, vegetarian/gluten-free lasagna, and brownies. Members of the Rotary Club of Nashoba Valley helped serve dinner and clean up after the event.
2017-18 President of Rotary International, Ian Riseley, has asked Rotary clubs to show their commitment to addressing climate change by planting a tree for every member.
This spring, District 7910’s clubs will plant at least 1500 trees – one for every Rotarian in our district. Tree planting is a great way to combat global warming,g/Stories/clubs-order-your-trees-from-the-district-make-a-difference-plant-a-tree beautify our communities, and generate positive publicity our clubs.
District 7910 will support clubs by purchasing trees in bulk at a discount. These trees may be reserved by your club, in groups of 25 trees, for $50 per 25 trees. Each seedling tree will be potted, so the trees can easily be distributed to Rotarians, students, and partner agencies. Your club may choose to apply a Rotary sticker to the tree’s pot for some projects.
We look forward to hosting you at our five-district 2018 Summit at Mount Washington!
As of February 1, we have about 400 registered participants.
Fellow Rotarians, we look forward to being with you at this exciting and historic event! Join over 500 Rotarians from Maine, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, Quebec and Vermont, at the beautiful Mount Washington Resort on May 4-6, 2018.
