We urgently need your help to support our Philippines mission

Posted by Terry Rezendes Curran on Oct. 30, 2024

There are two ways you can support our upcoming Rotaplast Mission to Cebu in March.

ONE: You can make a personal donation or encourage your club’s Board of Directors financially to support our Mission. Checks can be sent to our Rotaplast Treasurer payable for Rotaplast: Eagle Bank, Attn: Stephen Miliotis, 350 Broadway, Everett, MA 02151.

TWO: You can sign up to volunteer on this mission as we still have a few open positions available. The mission departs from Boston to San Francisco on March 8 and returns to San Francisco on March 23. You must travel with the group on this portion of the trip so that the equipment boxes can be counted as your second piece of luggage. This is done as a group booking through Rotaplast and will cost approximately $1,200.

For more information on the event and for ways to donate, contact Mission Chair, Terry Rezendes Curran at terrycurran7930@gmail.com.

Ipswich-Rowley Rings Dinner Bell

Posted by Bob Wicks on Oct. 29, 2024

On Monday, October 28, more than a dozen Ipswich-Rowley Rotarians turned out to serve more than 150 local residents at the weekly Ipswich Dinner Bell. Rotary provides this service four times each year and is among several community organizations who volunteer to fund, prepare, and serve free hot meals.

Our chef once again was longtime Dinner Bell volunteer Denny Drislane. Rotarians assisted him by plating and serving food and beverages, setting and decorating tables, and cleaning up. As always, a great time was had by all.

In addition to our chef, special thanks go to our Community Service Chairs Chris Davis and Diane Herth. The photos were taken by Diane.
