There are already 100 Rotarians and friends, and twenty clubs registered for the District Installation Dinner. With only two weeks until the big day for the incoming presidents, their leadership teams and those who will serve the district, now is the time to register. Dave Manzi, the incoming Governor, would love to have every president for the 2015-2016 Rotary year attend and be part of a great evening of fun and fellowship. We as members of our individual clubs have an opportunity to show our support for those who have stepped forward to take on these important roles in providing service to our communities. The committee highly encourages clubs to reserve a table early to insure that your members can sit together.
On June 6, Ipswich Rotary officially inaugurated the first Rotary Satellite Club in our area, and one of the first in Rotary International worldwide. Members of the new satellite club are members of Ipswich Rotary who will meet separately as an evening club that will focus primarily on community service.
Following a short fellowship brunch, Ipswich Rotary President Rev. Brad Clark opened the proceedings by describing how the satellite club was envisioned. Ipswich Rotary was looking to engage great people who want to serve their communities but cannot meet weekly in the traditional way. The satellite club offers a more flexible and customized approach that should appeal to today’s busy professional and community leaders.
Brad then introduced District Governor Peter Simonsen. Peter emphasized the historic importance of the event. He said that this landmark initiative will make Rotary more accessible and effective, and that it was symbolic for the change to begin in Ipswich with its tradition of service and innovation, both locally and internationally. He added that Ipswich Rotary is a like a family, a club that knows how to have fun while doing good things in the world.
What do you get when you put together 90 people - high school sophomores, juniors and seniors, college students and Rotarians - Camp Rotary and a whole weekend of fun? RYLA 2015!
When PDG Gene Hastings brought RYLA to District 7930 many years ago, he couldn't have imagined how the program would take off and grow into what it is today. For one exciting weekend from Friday May 29 through Sunday May 31, 90 students and adults had a learning experience to remember for a long time.
Sixty new RYLArians learned leadership and life skills including goal setting, cultural understanding, problem solving, communication, public speaking, networking, community building, low and high ropes challenges, team building, acting and new this year - Rotary's Six Areas of Focus and how a student can change the world.
The Rotary Club of Stoneham held its 7th Annual Stoneham Star Talent Competition on Tuesday, June 9 at Stoneham Theatre. Twelve acts competed for the title, and ultimately Stoneham resident Alexandra Flammia was named the 2015 Stoneham Star for her performance of Don’t Rain on My Parade that had the whole audience on their feet. Randy Perillo once again hosted the show.
Judges Susan Larson, Mark Linehan and Dr. Joe Pizzarello also chose Isabella Moore for second place and the local band Houses, with members Bobby Borenstein, Jake Michaels, Eddie Pizzano and Jon Schores for third place. Keira Haughey and Amelia Borto won the distinction of “Fan Favorite” for receiving the most votes from the audience.
Stoneham Star is a fundraiser for charities that are near and dear to the hearts of Stoneham Rotarians. This year, a portion of the proceeds raised will benefit their new Interact Club at Stoneham High School.
The Rockport Rotary Club is delighted to welcome Wendy Rose Kotob, Carol Pallazola, Lisa Maddox and Karen Bogosian as new members of the Rockport Rotary Club. Our new members decided to join the Rotary under our new category of membership (The Service Membership) . The purpose of our new membership is to accommodate those who cannot attend meetings during the day but have a passion for service.
A Service Member agrees to attend at least one meeting each month and to commit to 26 hours of service per year. The club has changed one of its weekly luncheon meetings to an evening meeting the first week of each month to accommodate those who cannot attend a luncheon meeting.
The Rockport Rotary Club is very excited about the new Service Membership and is looking forward to welcoming many new members in the coming year. If you have interest in joining the Rockport Rotary please contact Ann Lewis, current president at 603-721-1038 or any Rotarian member. You may also visit Rockport Rotary for more information.
