Scituate Rotary Meets State Treasurer Seth Magaziner
On January 15, the Rotary Club of Scituate was privileged to welcome Rhode Island's State Treasurer, Seth Magaziner, who generously followed his presentation with a lively Q and A session. Magaziner shared specifics of several programs he has developed since taking office which might not come to mind as one considers the traditional tasks generally associated with the Office of Treasurer. He stressed the importance of building community from care for one another to foundational economics, and he remarked upon the value of service organizations which work to make a difference in their local communities. Magaziner's visit was not only very informative and interesting but he brought with him the happy surprise of a check in the amount of $1,159.26 from Unclaimed Property. His office has made increasingly successful innovative efforts toward uniting dormant dollars with rightful owners. This "Splendid Sum," personally delivered to Rotary after many years, is great news for 2020 spring plans at Rotary's playground on Battey Meeting House Road. Scituate Rotary sincerely thanks Mr. Magaziner for visiting our club.
