Posted by Matt Schroeder on May 22, 2024

As we take time this weekend to remember all of the brave men and women who have served our country, it is a good time for Rotary to look ahead for opportunities in your club to engage and support the individuals and families of anyone who has served or is still serving our great nation.

Over the last year the District Membership Committee has been working to gather stories of club activities focusing on the Veteran community and share ideas for clubs to engage with local Veterans in their respective towns and cities.

On Wednesday, June 5th, 12 pm, the District Veteran's Committee will host a Zoom call for anyone looking to share a success story or looking to get some ideas on what they do within their club in the upcoming year.

Ipswich-Rowley Centennial Project Groundbreaking

Posted by Bob Wicks on May 19, 2024

On April 25, the Ipswich Housing Authority (IHA) held a groundbreaking ceremony for the creation of an outdoor community space centrally located within its property at 95 County Road. The area abuts Bowen Hall which houses The Open Door/Ipswich Food Pantry. The project is partially funded by Ipswich-Rowley Rotary as part of its Centennial anniversary gift to the town. Several years ago, the club also played a major role in restoring Bowen Hall for the food pantry.

Ipswich-Rowley Rotarians present for the groundbreaking were President Ann Witzig, Centennial chair Martha Mauser, IHA liaison Chris Doktor, Open Door Director of Operations Jen Perry, and Events chair Lisa Shanko. Open Door CEO, President and Gloucester Rotarian Julia Hazen LaFontaine also is seen in the photo.
