In the past few months, the Melrose Rotary Club has welcomed six new members! “Each one of our new members bring something special to our club,” noted Club President Julie Nolan. “We have local bankers, an oncology nurse, an educational storyteller, a retired global change scientist, and an owner of a construction company. The skills each new member brings to our club are extraordinary!” Even though they have only recently joined the Melrose club, not all our new members are new to Rotary. Allen Solomon was a long-time member of a Rotary club in Oregon prior to moving to Melrose. Sara Doktor comes from a family of Rotarians, and was active in Rotaract and Interact, as well as RYLA and Youth Exchange.
 
Melrose's Newest Members (Pictured L-R) are Jim Hennesy, Sara Doktor, President Julie Nolan, Samantha Lightizer and Allen Solomon. New members not pictured are Paul Roche and Florence Lee.

The club meets every Thursday in the GAR Room at Melrose Memorial Hall from 12:15pm to 1:30pm.
