Giving Back to the Community
The Rotary Club of Chester Vermont, an international service organization that advances goodwill and peace around the world, is giving back to the community with a donation of $250 to the Chester 250th Birthday Celebration Committee.
Frank Kelley, Chester Celebration Committee co-chair stated, "The Chester 250 Committee enthusiastically accepts a donation from the Chester Rotary. The funds will be used to support the Chester Centennial activities on Saturday, July 16th and Sunday, July 17th. Events will be held at the Pinnacle, Chester Fairground, Chester Historical Society, the Stone Village, and all around the Town Green. All ages are encouraged to participate in games, historic re-enactments, and viewing vintage equipment. On Saturday, July 16th, there will be fireworks down by the American Legion."
Citizens and organizations interested in giving back and supporting the birthday celebration should make their check out to “Town of Chester” with a note Chester 250th and either give to Tom Hildreth, Frank Kelley or drop it off at town hall.
The Chester Rotary, the little club with a big heart, sponsors numerous events during the course of the year. Their next event will be the 6th Annual Golf Tournament to be held on June 5th at Tater Hill Golf Club. Proceeds from the event will go to Chester Rotary Club charities and the Green Mountain Union H.S. Scholarship Fund. For more information, contact Ron Theissen at (802) 875 -8100.
