The league currently has six teams; Beverly, Chelsea, Danvers, Marblehead/Salem, Salem, NH and Woburn. Teams play ten regular season games, one game per week starting at 6:00 pm. Every team than enters the play-offs for a chance to win the league championship. The league has an annual picnic which will be on Wednesday, July 13th at John George Park in Danvers.
All Rotarians and their family and friends are invited to the picnic. After games team members will usually get together for Rotary fellowship. We welcome other District 7930 Rotary clubs to join our league this year. We also welcome individual Rotarians to join other teams in the league if your club is not able to field a team. Several of the teams in the league have members from several Rotary clubs. The purpose of the league is to provide one more avenue for Rotarian camaraderie and some exercise. The skill and age level of members of the league truly represent the demographics of current Rotary clubs. All games are played in the spirit of Rotary with having a good time top priority.
Since December 2015, seven new community and service-minded individuals have stepped up to join the Rotary Club of Andover. Membership Chair Al Ruthazer attributes the growth to several things, including the fall 2015 Andover Cares movement. He feels that this introduced the potential of Rotary’s service opportunities to many people who want to make a difference in our community. Following the October 2015 Andover Cares Festival, many volunteers wanted to get more involved, but the traditional service club model of required weekly breakfast meetings made it impossible for them to join. Hearing this, Andover Rotary created a new flexible Service Membership, and also added an evening meeting option each month.
“We're a great club,” said Membership Chair Ruthazer, “and the option to attend Rotary meetings at night has made our club accessible to some people who wanted to be a part of the best service club in town, but were unable to attend Friday morning meetings. In addition, members have the option to be Service members. This Service membership option allows people unable to attend a meeting every week to still contribute to all of our service projects with gusto, as full Rotary members.”
Join the fun on April 7, to benefit the Ipswich Family YMCA and Ipswich Rotary. Enjoy good food, wine, music, and fellowship at the 2016 "Taste of Ipswich".
The event is sponsored by Marcorelle's Fine Wines and Liquors. 6:30 - 9:30 pm at the Mansion on Turner Hill, Ipswich. If available, tickets at the door will be $65 per person, $120 per couple.
