Andover Turns the Big 3-0
30 years ago in June, the Rotary Club of Andover, MA was chartered. We are honored to still have many founding members actively involved today.
 
Over the past three decades, our members have dedicated countless hours, raised significant funds, and supported local, regional, national, and international non-profit causes, making our community stronger.
 
At the Friday, July 11th breakfast meeting, the Club celebrated like true champions with a birthday cake for breakfast because nothing says "three decades of doing good" like frosting at 7:30 am.
 
Here's to more years of service, laughs, and maybe a few more sugary breakfasts - because who says you can't have your cake and eat it too?

Greater Salem NH Cornhole Tournament
The Greater Salem NH Rotary Club, I would like to extend our heartfelt gratitude to everyone who participated in and supported our annual Corn Hole Tournament at Tuscan Village. The success of this event is a testament to the strength and generosity of our community. From the spirited teams who filled the tournament with laughter and friendly competition, to the dedicated sponsors who made the day possible, your contributions truly make a difference.

The funds raised during the tournament will go directly toward supporting our monthly service at the local food pantry, benefiting families in all five of our towns: Salem, Atkinson, Hampstead, Windham, and Pelham. Because of your generosity, we can continue to provide essential groceries and resources to neighbors facing food insecurity.
