The Rotary Club of Lynn welcomed two new members recently, Carolyn Cole and Jennifer Pearce. Each of these new members are attending the satellite meetings and each has a prior connection to Rotary.
Carolyn is a program manager, vocal instructor, and artistic coordinator working for programs within Lynn Arts. She has her Bachelors Degree in Musical Theater from Rhode Island College and has worked in the arts field with interests in music, event planning, and performance. Carolyn performed in the Lynn Rotary musical show that was held at City Hall several years back, so she knew of the mission of Rotary before joining recently.
Jennifer is the Director of Advancement and the Capital Campaign for St. Mary’s High School in Lynn. She has a Bachelors Degree from Fordham University and is currently very busy in fundraising activities for St. Mary’s. Jen is very interested in the RYLA program of Rotary and has been pleased that her daughters were able to participate in that program in the past. She has expressed support for RYLA and that support has prompted her to become a Rotarian in Lynn.
The Lynn Rotary Club is very pleased to have these two new members as part of our club and look forward to the positive contributions that each of them will make to our club.
Lynn Rotary helps support Rotaplast mission of District 7930
District 7930 is sponsoring a Rotaplast mission to the Philippines and hopes to raise $50,000 to help provide needed plastic surgeries to the poor in that country. Thus far, the district has raised $40,000 toward that goal and Assistant District Governor Joan Arsenault told the Lynn Rotary Club that her husband is going on that mission as a non-Rotarian volunteer. Club member Joyce Elliott recently spoke to the Lynn Rotary Board of Directors about how great this program is in treating both children and adults with cleft palate and \/or cleft lip. These victims are treated like lepers because of their deformity. She felt that this program and the polio eradication program are two of the greatest health programs Rotary has, and supported financial support for the Rotaplast mission. The Lynn Club has donated $500 toward the goal, and hopes that the full amount needed for this important project can be raised within the district.
