President's Message February 2025
 

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

Our Club is Growing!
Greetings Fellow Rotarians!

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!

I am honored to begin my second year as the President of the Rotary Club of Lynn, MA. I have been a Rotarian for 3 years now and the opportunity to give back to my community through service has been so rewarding. I am constantly asked what is the Rotary Club and my quick answer to that is we are an international organization who’s main focus is service through volunteer work and participation in local and international efforts. On a more specific note we volunteer in local organizations such as My Brothers Table, the Mobile Food Bank, Catholic Charities, Lynn Shelter Association, etc. We give out annual scholarships to high school seniors and recognize 8th grade students who have overcome obstacles in life and so much more. I have many ideas for what we will accomplish this year and I am looking forward to a fun Rotary year. If you would like to become more involved in the city of Lynn you might want to consider joining us.
