Blue Hills Regional Technical High School cordially invites you to our second “REVERSE” CAREER FAIR.  Blue Hills Regional Technical School is a Vocational School located in Canton, MA.  We have 16 vocational programs.  Students will be available in their vocational program for you to meet.

I am raising funds for the Multiple Myeloma Research Foundation (MMRF) in honor of my father, Bill Powers, who was diagnosed with this rare blood cancer last spring. This past August he underwent an extreme treatment process in which he had to spend 28 days in isolation followed by months of at home treatment to avoid becoming sick with a weakened immune system. All along the way he main concern was for his wife (my mom) and our family. The entire treatment process he always had a smile on his face and the attitude that he “would be just fine.” I am certain that it is his positive attitude that has kept him moving.

In just over 2 months, on July 12, 2013, the 3rd Annual Forward in Health Golf Tournament will be held at the Winchendon School Golf Club, and we sincerely hope you will be able to join us. As you may be aware, this event has become a vital source of support for the Forward in Health organization and mission. Under the combined leadership of Dr. John Mulqueen and his wife Paul, a registered nurse, Forward in Health is dedicated to improving the health conditions and dignity of the people in and around Les Cayes, Haiti. Their vision is to make a long lasting impact on the health of the people who live in this area. To this end, they have undertaken the building of a health clinic in Fonde Fred, about twenty minutes from Les Cayes.

I would like to send out a big “Thank You” to all the people that helped the Neponset Valley Sunrise Rotary Club in our reprised Annual Holiday Clothing Drive. This first year after a short break we were able to collect over $1,000 so that we could purchase the small items that can be easily forgotten: socks, underwear, hats, mittens and personal care items.

DEDHAM, MA, November 16, 2011 — Right in time for Thanksgiving, Neponset Valley Sunrise (NVS) Rotary presented a donation to three area food pantries at its Appreciation breakfast for businesses and individuals who have donated and supported Rotary fundraisers. The celebration took place on the morning of November 16 at the Holiday Inn in Dedham, where the club meets weekly.

This is a link which takes you to the donation page to donate as a Rotarian or non-Rotarian. Once in, you should find an option to help with long-term disaster recovery efforts worldwide, and an option there to select the Rotary Japan and Pacific Islands fund.

Others can donate as a non-Rotarian. Non-Rotarians can then choose to "help long-term disaster recovery efforts worldwide", then select the "Rotary Japan and Pacific Islands" fund.

Rotary helps foster peace and world understanding through education.

 For being apart of, and help making the

2013 NVSRC Annual Duck Race on the Charles a wonderful success!
