The Meredith Rotary Club is thrilled to welcome two outstanding new members who bring with them a shared passion for service, connection, and community.

Meet Ellen Dearborn:
After years of building her career and living across the country, Ellen has returned to New Hampshire with a deep desire to give back to the community that helped shape her. A former Rotary Youth Exchange student to the Czech Republic, Ellen’s experience abroad sparked her lifelong connection to Rotary and its values of service above self.


Ellen believes strongly in the power of community, especially in a time when many feel isolated or disconnected. With a heartfelt commitment to supporting Meredith’s vibrant and aging population, she’s eager to carry forward the values that make this area so special—learning from those who came before her and contributing meaningfully to the future of our club.

 

Meet Frank Bernieri:
Originally from Brooklyn, NY, Frank spent 30 years in Westborough, MA before moving to Meredith in 2024. With a BA from Upsala College and an MBA from Cornell University, Frank built a successful career in sales leadership, including executive roles at IBM, ADP, Ansys, and Qlik.


Service has long been a part of Frank’s life—he previously served as Treasurer of the Westborough Food Pantry, providing food assistance to over 500 people in need. Now in Meredith, Frank is excited to continue his commitment to community while enjoying his favorite pastimes: pickleball, skiing, and biking. He and his wife, Loren, have been married for 39 years and are proud parents and grandparents.

 

Please join us in giving Ellen and Frank a warm Meredith Rotary welcome! We’re so excited to have their energy, experience, and dedication strengthening our club and our community. 💙💛
