The Ladies are in the lead at Lynn Rotary
 
The Ladies lead in Lynn Rotary as of now.  Women now amount to 55% of the club, while men amount to 45%.  This means that the men have to get going in recruitment, while the women are killing it.  Whether male of female, all Rotarians are PEOPLE OF ACTION.  
Congratulations Santiago
 
 

CONGRATULATIONS to Rotary member, Santiago Aguilar Of King Movers and Storage.   He received the Businessman of the Year award from the Greater Lynn Chamber of Commerce.  The award was in recognition of  outstanding service, philanthropy,  and community commitment.  Santiago lives the Rotary term “Service Above Self”.  He is a regular volunteer at our Peanut Butter and Jelly Sandwich making events producing sandwiches for My Brothers Table. THANKS SANTIAGO. 

 

 
 
Lynn Rotary Survey is out -  Take a look. 
Lynn Rotary members may have seen a survey sent out by President Marnie.  Please take a moment to respond to the survey.  It will make Lynn Rotary a better organization by helping with planning and giving us options for new speakers.

Haven Project always in need.

WOW- The Lynn Rotary club collected numerous packages of paper towels, shampoos and other personal care items. We had quite a haul to give to the Haven Project!
This wonderful program is always in need of items for the people they serve.
