Rotary Rocket - April 8th edition
We had a great meeting last week with Captain Daniel Brunelle as our guest speaker. Captain Brunelle also volunteered to deliver the invocation and to top that he filled out an application for membership. Captain Brunelle discussed the various programs the Salvation Army supports and how they appreciate our help.
We welcomed back the Hall brothers from their winter escape as well as Chris Gates returning from the DL.
Patrick Maloney and Alex Zequeira from the Nativity School of Worcester were on hand as they were presented with a check from the Service Fund for $500.00.
Sponsorship pins were presented to Ken Harling and Clarence Plante for sponsoring new members to the club. Membership is the lifeblood of our club, we are very appreciative and proud of our sponsors. Thank you for sponsoring new members.
Speaking of new members we have two new members Matt Erskine and David O’Doherty. The board will vote on Captain Brunelle’ s application and we have 2 more in the pipeline. So that will be 5 new members in the past month. Let’s keep up the good work!
