The Rotary Club of Lynn will be collecting professional attire for men and women, in support of the Lynn Shelter Association’s program called “Succeed in Style”. This program provides clothing to Shelter clients who need professional attire as they apply for jobs or begin work. The Club is going to support that program by collecting professional attire to donate to the Association at our meeting of June 22, 2017. 
Recently the Rotary Club of Lynn held its Eighth Grade Recognition Program at the Porthole Restaurant. The program has been a mainstay on the Lynn Club calendar for over a decade and is underwritten by Riverworks Credit Union. The awards ceremony is held several times a year and presents awards to middle school students who have overcome something in their life, and who are doing well in school. Students, teachers, and families are invited to a great luncheon where letters of recommendation from teachers are read aloud in honor of each student. Each student is then given an award citation, a letter of commendation, a gift certificate, and a cash award toward a savings account. These award ceremonies are very popular with students, families, teachers, and among Rotarians too. The Lynn Rotary Club is greatly appreciative of Riverworks Credit Union in their support of the program.
