District Conference: Service, Learning and Salem Fun
Over 55 Rotarians and friends attended the annual District 7930 Conference at the Salem Waterfront Hotel. The day started with fellowship as Rotarians shared coffee and breakfast with each other.
 
The day officially started with the District Conference Business Meeting. District Governor Pooja Singla extended a warm welcome to all the conferees and celebrated our work in our communities, “You’ve strengthened your communities, supported one another, and advanced projects that reflect the very best of Rotary’s values.” Past District Governor Dave Gardner  reviewed the proposed revisions to the bylaws. There was an excellent discussion with the Rotarians present and it was decided that the Bylaws Committee would incorporate the suggestions. District Secretary Laura Meisenhelter recorded the votes on three District level positions. There was no vote at that time. Liz Cullen (Newburyport) was elected as District Governor Nominee. Adam Rodgers (Stoneham) was approved as District Treasurer. Don Gottfried (Andover) was approved as Trustee to the Permanent Fund.

Wakefield Rotarians Honor Mother’s Day
This week, the Wakefield Rotary Club completed its project to honor Mother’s Day. Immediately following one of its regular luncheons, the club compiled 33 “treat kits” for mothers living at Centerboard’s Melrose, Lynn and Chelsea locations. The kits included necessities, candy and pampering supplies. Wakefield Rotarian Jill McWilliam explained, “It was important to us that each kit also had a personal note of inspiration. These women have had a difficult time, and we wanted to cheer them on.”

According to Centerboard’s website, “Centerboard provides holistic support to adults and youth in Greater Lynn and on the North Shore facing unimaginable difficulties such as housing insecurity, trauma, exploitation, domestic violence, and substance use—offering not just housing but also a wide range of services designed to help each person heal, gain stability, and pursue a safe and stable life.”
