Hot dogs were served along with, chips, water and juice boxes. Service Above Self is our mission. Harold, an avid cyclist, instruct the youngsters on how to properly and safely ride their bikes.

The Stratford Rotary Club spent several hours at the Stratford Historical Society on Academy Hill sprucing up the extensive garden area. The Historical Society project was chosen for this years  Rotary's Day of Service. The garden is filled with plants and herbs native to the area during the Colonial period. New mulch was distributed around the property along with the planting of native flowers. Some of the members spent time repotting seedlings for future plantings. Thanks to all of the Rotarians who volunteered their time.
Secretary of State Stephanie Thomas was the guest speaker. She provided information about early voting, which was very successful, although very few participated in the primary. More is expected in August and November. She also encouraged members to be poll workers.
