Mike, our guest pulled ticket #163 and Ali Giangrande was the lucky winner who pulled a “seven” for &7.00…Congrats on winning for the 1^st time!!  

 

We had Ali Giangrande introduce Michael Della Monaca this morning as he is running for election on the Leominster school committee for Ward 3. Commented how he has know Rick for 20 years and he invited him the 1^st time to our Rotary club…we are a fun group! Mike is not used to politics and public speaking but he wants to run to make a difference on the school committee. It allows him to talk with families, neighborhoods, etc. to get their perspective and their views. He enjoys going out talking to people face-to-face the old-fashion way…knocking on doors, shaking hands. Spoke about individualize education, school safety, reserves the schools should receive, etc. Need to look at foundation and budget items along with free cash b’c once you use it will be gone. He hopes to see you on November 3^rd!
