This fun filled event starts at Pizzeria Uno in Kenmore Square at 4:00 pm with an all you can eat pizza buffet and a cash bar. We will stroll as a group from there to our seating block in Fenway Park. There are 150 tickets available, with free tickets available to those Presidents that have entered all of their goals into Club Runner.
This event is to meet potential new members, meet family and to be with friends. It is open for anyone to register and you can register and purchase as many tickets as you wish. Some of us are bringing spouses, some of us are bringing children. Come one, come all for a great time, and support the District 7930 Rotaplast Mission at the same time! You can T-it or drive it, but you won't need a car once you are in town.
Watch the video released on July 23, 2015 with RI President Ravi announcing another milestone for the eradication of Polio in the world. If Nigeria has no Polio cases reported for two more years it will officially be Polio free. The work of Rotarians around the world are accomplishing something so special and meaningful to our generation and for generations to come. Click on photo, video or text at bottom of story to view President Ravi's special message.
The conflicts were a half a world away but not far from the minds of Israeli and Palestinian youths from a region near Nazareth who visited Marblehead recently as guests of the town’s three Rotary clubs. The teens are taking part in a 16-day tour of the Northeast as part of the Friends Forever program, which is supported by Rotary International.
They feasted on American cuisine prepared by club members, listened to music performed by two members of the Marblehead High School Interact club, were treated to a surprise visit by Terry’s ice cream truck, and went home with Penny Bears courtesy of the Penny Bear Company. The cookout was hosted by Rotarians Andy and Jessica Barnett, and was sponsored by the Rotary Club of Marblehead Harbor, Marblehead Rotary Club and the MHS Interact club.
Founded by a Rotarian, Friends Forever brings young people from areas of conflict to the United States. During their visit the teenagers, who would likely never forge such friendships in their own country, learn to work together and often find they are more alike than different.
For many years the Rotary clubs of Marblehead have hosted Catholic and Protestant youngsters from Northern Ireland. This marked the first visit by Palestinians and Israelis.
“This hug is for you”is printed on the side of the paper bags carrying Penny Bears for our newly-made friends. Penny Wigglesworth donated the bears.
