Responding to the Tragedy in Maine

Posted by DG Lori Karas on Nov 04, 2023

Just after October 25, 2023 – I reached out to my classmate Tina Champman District Governor of D7790 to inquire what was needed for those in the Lewiston, Auburn, Bowdoin and Winthrop areas, as they lost 18 members of the community. Due to the lock down and the community taking some time to digest all that occurred I’ve received word. The Governor of Maine has posted to their website the names of vetted and reputable organizations. Please visit Healing Together: Supporting Victims and Families of the Tragedy in Lewiston | Office of Governor Janet T. Mills (maine.gov).

This incident, the scores of news reports of people being murdered both locally and afar, remind us of the need to focus on mental health and wellness. Please take care of yourself, family, your fellow Rotarians, neighbors, and community. If you know someone in need of help - please go to www.masshelpline.com.

The District Interact Council is pleased to invite you to join us for one of our exciting InteractCafes this fall. Student run, these great events are designed to support our Interact clubs and educate Rotarians about their critical support role. Note the location change for the 11/15 Cafe.

November's InteractCafes are.

Ipswich HS - Nov. 1

Andover HS - Nov. 8

Wilmington HS - Nov. 15 (note location change)

The updated dates and locations are also on the flyer downloadable here. There is one in each region of the District. While club presidents and Interact coordinators will be invited directly, it is also important that our District leaders have an opportunity to experience the joy of Interact firsthand. It is also a chance to lead by example - to show these young people that we do indeed believe in them and are committed to supporting them in their efforts.

Rotary Peabody Hosting Veterans Walk Nov. 11

Posted by Herb Harris on Nov 01, 2023

The Rotary Club of Peabody will hold a Walk For Veterans immediately following the Veterans Day ceremonies at City Hall on Saturday, November 11. At the end of the short walk, Rotarians will spend the afternoon cleaning the area around the Soldiers and Sailors Monument and the monument itself, at Courthouse Plaza. In the spirit of Rotary's motto “Service Above Self,” we are indebted to those who served for us. Rotarians will assist those veterans who are in wheelchairs.

Members of the District 7930 community are encouraged to join Rotary on the walk. We also ask that donations to the Peabody Veterans Department be made at peabodyrotarytaste.com. In the message area, please enter “Veterans Walk.” Additionally, we ask that our fellow Rotarians spend some time that afternoon (and every day) assisting veterans by doing chores around their homes, running errands or just keeping them company.
