"Walking with the other athletes at the Olympic games in the Opening Ceremonies was awesome!"
Welcome to our Club!
As we step into a new Rotary year, our focus remains clear: to deepen member engagement, expand our fundraising efforts, and do meaningful good in our community. Each of you brings a unique gift, and it is my goal to listen, learn, and help you use your talents to make a lasting impact. Together, we'll strengthen our projects, support new initiatives, and invite others to share in the Rotary journey. Let’s uplift one another, stay connected, and continue leading with purpose and heart.
Guided by this year’s Rotary International theme—“Unite for Good”—we’ll ensure our collective efforts continue to create real change.
Our Satellite Meetings are Back on the Calendar. Come share your observations and ideas.
Dear Marnie and Lynn Rotary Club Members,
Thank you so very much for your concern, care, kindness and amazingly generous financial support during this challenging time for me. Please know how very much that I appreciate this and how very grateful I am for it as well!
Sincerely, Frank
We hope you will “accept the Challenge” because eating plant-rich food can make every day Earth Day!
I appreciate any help you can provide.
Sign up for the Challenge by April 15th at this LINK.
Please share this email with your Fellowship Members, your family, and friends.
Welcome March and welcome Spring!
While this has been a cold and snowy winter, Lynn Rotary is on FIRE! We welcomed 3 new corporate members,
Adiel Lopez - Rockland Trust in January
Kerry Ranieri- Reading Cooperative Bank in February
Santiago Aguilar - King Movers & Storage in February
Please reach out to them and give them a warm welcome either in person or over the phone. You can find contact information for them and for all our Lynn Rotary members in Club Runner either on your computer or in the app on your mobile device.
As we grow our membership we are going to increase our in-person events. We are receiving more requests from outside organizations who want to come and speak to our members as word is getting out that our monthly Lynn Rotary meetings are filled with great energy and good people.
Beginning this month we will meet for dinner at Old Tyme on the 3rd Thursday of each month, from 5:30-7pm, even in the months when we host our 8th grade luncheons.
Beginning in April, on the 1st Thursday evening of each month Lynn Rotary members will be making a “Lynn Rotary Tour” of various non-profits and service centers across Lynn. These will be opportunities for Lynn Rotarians to learn more about the good work that is being done across the city by the many different groups that call Lynn home.
Frank Grealish and Kim Lee are doing a great job reaching out to Lynn organizations to make these tours possible.
Please invite your friends, family and co-workers to our monthly dinners and Rotary Tours to share how we do “Service Above Self” a little bit differently here at Lynn Rotary. We are always open to inviting more to join us in our mission.
Yours in Service Above Self,
Jean-Marie Minton
President 2024-2025
Greetings Fellow Rotarians!
I am pleased to update our club about our Membership.
It is the small acts of kindness among ourselves that have created a culture of positivity that has helped our club grow.
Learning about another wonderful partner in our community that supports our students.
It's time for a Project during our Old Tyme In-Person Meeting!
on Thursday, February 20, 2025 at 5:30 pm,
we will hear from Linda Saris, of LEAP for Education.
Donate a Gift Card to the Local Student Organization
How Can I help?
Restaurants in Lynn - in small denominations - used to order pizza, Chinese food, sandwiches, bagels, etc. for evening student meetings.
We also use them for incentives for projects completed (i.e. $5-10 dunkin', local coffee, sandwich shop gift certificate)
Uber gift cards - transportation is a big cost for us and we don't have our own bus so we use taxis to get kids home who don't have a ride.
We never want transportation to be a barrier to participating. Uber gift cards can also be used for UberEats.
Market Basket, CVS, Amazon - general gifts cards to use for instructional supplies and snacks as we need them.
Thank you for your consideration and look forward to seeing you on Thursday!
Shout out to Kathy Burns for donating the supplies for our Sandwich Making Service Event!
A warm welcome to our

Rotary In Person Meeting
LEAP for Education (LEAP) runs free, after-school and summer programs designed to bridge the opportunity gap for students from underserved communities across Essex County, Massachusetts. These programs offer students the ability to explore and engage in their communities in a way that will lead them to careers that align with their strengths and interests.
Our Impact is Stronger Together
A Special Thank you to
Art Horgan and Ray Bastarache
During our recent in person meeting we celebrated Art and Ray for their dedication to the club.
What you do has far greater impact than what you say.
