Worcester Rotary Rocket - Dec 16th, 2016
Last week update from President Robert Mangan.
Don't forget we are meeting on Dec 17th at Tatnuck Country Club this week for the Annual Christmas Party
This week our guest speaker will be Krishna Dasgupta. Krishna will discuss the importance of giving to The Rotary Foundation. I would like to see our club participate in Every Rotarian Every Year and make a contribution you are comfortable with. The goal is $125 per member.
This week: The WPI Rotaract Club inducted their new members and officers Monday evening where Rod White, Emily Buresh and myself were present. Congratulations to all the new members and officers at the Rotaract Club.
Tuesday morning the Myra Hiatt Kraft Footbridge was dedicated. There were several Proud Rotarians on hand. Satya and I represented Rotary on the stage and delivered a few words while many folks gave inspiring speeches. It is amazing what happens when a community comes together to make this happen. This bridge was made possible by many hands that include students at WPI and The Worcester Technical High School, Friends and neighbors of Elm Park, Madigan Company, many others and the Worcester Rotary Club. We should be very proud to be part of such a fantastic project. Please go visit the bridge and see how Myra Hiatt Kraft still brings the community together.
Kids Cafe: Please let Amy know if you are interested in helping out with Kids Cafe on Tuesday December 15th at 4:00 Boys and Girls Club on Tainter Street.

Project New Hope: Please remember our Veterans by bringing a gift card for Walmart, Price Chopper, Stop and Shop or Shaws to help a Veterans family in need this Holiday Season. After all they served you and our country... By bringing a donation you will be placed in a raffle to win a pair of Bose Headphones ($160.00 Value).
Thank you for being a Gift to the World!
