Ipswich-Rowley Rotary recently donated $10,000 to assist the summer camp program of the Ipswich Family YMCA. This donation is made annually in memory of Rotarian Gerry Beauchamp, founding Executive Director of the Ipswich Y. Receiving the donation on behalf of the Y were Chris Bevilaqua, current Executive Director and a Rotarian, and Andy Ellis, an Honorary Rotarian and the lead race coordinator of our annual Ipswich Ale Half Marathon fundraiser.

Rotarians put in about 650 hours annually on the marathon, but it wouldn’t be possible without our sponsors and supporters. Speaking at our annual Passing the Gavel installation dinner, Chris thanked the club on behalf of the Y and the kids who enjoy the camp experience in Rowley.

 

On July 26th from 6 -8pm, Wildfire served up a smorgasbord of tunes ranging from ABBA's Dancing Queen to Lee Greenwood's God Bless the USA for an enthusiastic crowd on the final night of the Lynnfield Rotary Concert series. The talented vocalists of the group led the way with a wide-ranging repertoire of songs including Simply the Best by Tina Turner, Gloria by Laura Brannigan, Brown Eyed Girl by Van Morrison, Giver Me Some Lovin’ by Richie Valens, Old Time Rock ‘n Roll by Bob Seger and many more, to the delight of the largest audience of the year.

The weather couldn’t have provided a better backdrop for Lynnfield Rotary's final Concert. The energy was exhilarating as young and old enjoyed the inviting evening atmosphere with family and friends.

Lynnfield High's Interact handled food and beverages and were so busy they asked that the food and beverage tables remain up until after the final song.
