The recently integrated club of Belle Isle, which resulted from a merger in July of the Rotary Clubs of East Boston-Revere and Winthrop has wasted no time to integrate their past traditions into the new club!

For nearly ten years, the Rotary Club of East Boston-Revere venture onto the high seas once a month in lieu of our weekly lunch meeting during the summer months for food, fun, and fellowship. In early October, the Club had one last trip of the season and they we were joined by Governor David Manzi for a beautiful evening! The monthly boat trips started as a way to establish camaraderie between the Rotary Clubs of East Boston and Revere when they merged in 2006.

Another tradition is marching in the Revere Columbus Day parade! We picked up where we left off along with our community service vehicle and marched in the Revere Columbus Day Parade -- as for one day we were all Italian!
