Rotary Rocket - Sept 24th, 2015 Mel Greenberg
Good afternoon,
We had a fantastic meeting on Thursday. We had good attendance and a few guests as well. Click HERE for pictures.
Tim McGee was awarded a Multiple Paul Harris Fellow, or as Tim says MPH award. Thank you Tim for all you do for our club and your outstanding generosity to the club and TRF.
Our guest speaker was the Hon.Mel Greenberg. Mel discussed the Market Basket Saga and what lead up to the dismissal and reinstatement of Arthur T. Demoulas.Mel talked about the family background and how the grocery chain started then how greed played a roll in the family business. I hope we got Mel to seriously consider joining the club.
The Service Fund Committee approved funding of $1,000 to Nicole Scavone. Nicole is a teacher at the West Tatnuck School and teaches severely handicapped children. Our donation will help Nicole purchase computers for her classroom. Nicole thanked the club and also brought a poster with the students pictures on it, there was also a story about making a difference. This is why we are Rotarians! Making a difference in the lives of others.
