The purpose of the Rotary Club of Lynn Teacher of the Year Award is to call attention to the importance of service to the community. The award provides an opportunity to publicly applaud our teachers and to reward those who have demonstrated excellence in their profession by “going the extra mile”. Nominees for the award are solicited from all Lynn schools, public and private. Winning recipients will each receive a cash award as will their school.
All proceeds from ticket sales, sponsorships and ads/tributes in our Program Book will benefit Lynn Rotary’s Scholarship Fund. Annually our Club awards scholarships to Lynn Senior High School students who are seeking higher education.
The Rotary Club of Lynn has the honor of having the longest running continuous project in Rotary. Camp Rotary, a service project of the Rotary Club in Lynn, has been in operation since 1921, and Camp Rotary Inc was incorporated in 1929 to oversee the camp. The Camp has been very successful since it's inception and the Lynn Rotary Club through it's contract with Youth Service Managers continues to oversee the success of the Camp. A pamphlet recently came to our attention which was written in 1949 to explain the birth of Camp Rotary to new members. It is reproduced here to inform our new members about Camp Rotary and to allow some of our long term members to review again how the Camp came to be. The article details how the Club came to feel a camp would be great for disadvantaged boys and how early Rotarians searched out land, organized how to pay for it, and contracted out the management to an organization, the YMCA, which would provide "moral and physical training" for the boys. The camp is currently managed by Youth Service Managers and overseen by Camp Rotary, Inc.
