Serve to Change Lives

for May 12, 2022

Inspiration:

Train your mind to see the good in everything. Positivity is a choice. The happiness of your life depends on the quality of your thoughts. Martin Luther King Jr. once said, We must discover the power of love, the redemptive power of love. And when we discover that, we will be able to make of this old world a new world. Love is the only way.

Our next Club Meeting will begin on Thursday May 12th at 7:45am. We will be meeting in-person at the Spanish American Center located at 112 Spruce Street in Leominster as well as via Zoom at https://us02web.zoom.us/j/85151551208.

President's Message: Michael Caslin

My fellow Rotarians,

On this date in 1926, aboard the semirigid airship Norge, Norwegian explorer Roald Amundsen, American scientist Lincoln Ellsworth, and Italian engineer Umberto Nobile made the first undisputed flight over the North Pole on this day in 1926. Rotary is first when it comes to servicing the needs of our communities.

Michael

Last Week's Club Meeting:

Alley had a great idea about co-sponsoring a Red Cross blood drive due to national blood shortages. Ellen has found a location to host the event at at Andrew's Hall in Lunenburg. Thank you Alley and Ellen!

Discuss adding a Webmaster/Social Media Chair to update our website to show all of the recent service projects and fundraising events that we have worked on and to become more inviting to potential new members.
