Register Now for February RLI
The mission of The Rotary Leadership Institute (RLI) North East America is to provide an educational opportunity for Rotarians as potential leaders. Each club President is asked annually to encourage Club members as potential Club leaders in the years ahead. Courses foster Rotary knowledge and leadership skills. It is hoped that these courses will also motivate the participants to be enthusiastic, creative and dedicated Rotarians.  Our District's next RLI is being offered virtually on February 24 & 26, 2026Register now!  It is open to all Rotary members. 
 
The faculty members are carefully selected by the Institute for their teaching abilities. They are drawn from all areas of the Rotary Districts. Many are present and past R.I. Directors, present and past District Governors, successful past Presidents and those with experience in special areas. If your Club cares about its future, it will want the best leadership possible. This is an outstanding opportunity for each Club to improve the Rotary knowledge of its key people, who will also be exposed to new ideas of leadership. The exchange of ideas with other experienced Rotarians alone makes the courses worthwhile.

Lynnfield 's Annual Build A Bed
Save The Date & Join Us
Lynnfield Rotary’s Fifth Annual Build A Bed
Saturday, May 9, 2026, 9:00 AM, Market Street, Lynnfield, MA

Build A Bed is returning to Market Street—and we’d love for you to be part of it!

Since 2022, Lynnfield Rotary has gathered volunteers to build beds for children across Massachusetts who otherwise would not have one. What started with just 10 beds has grown each year and in 2026, we’re excited to reach a major milestone: more than 100 beds built.

Each bed costs $350 and includes a mattress. Once completed, every bed is delivered directly to a child’s home. All materials, tools, and step-by-step guidance are provided, and volunteers work in small teams of up to four. Children are welcome when accompanied by an adult, making this a meaningful and hands-on family service opportunity.

This is a service project, not a fundraiser—every dollar contributed goes directly toward building beds.

Global Grant Long Term Success Story
The Marblehead Harbor Club checks in with the recipients of its grants a number of years after its grant projects have been completed. The physician who oversees the results of their 2015 global grant in Nepal was recently contacted.
 
A bit of history: The beautiful mountain-filled country of Nepal has been devastated over the years by severe earthquakes, which leave hundreds of its citizens, young and old, with serious and sometimes life-threatening injuries. In the past, family members were forced to bring their loved ones to the only hospital in the country that could stabilize patients, a hospital that was located in Dhulikhel, miles from their homes. Once stabilized, the injured people returned to their homes, but, back in 2015, there were no physical therapy services available to help them get back to normal function.

Storied Success for Service Above Self
On January 7th, 38 members (52%) of the Lynn Rotary club took the time to volunteer to participate in our 18th annual "Dictionary Distribution project "sponsored by Reading Cooperative Bank and McGrath Enterprises.

I do not know of any other Rotary Club where the Mayor, the Police Chief, the Fire Chief, the School Superintendent, State Representative, School Committee Members, and several elected Counselors work beside Rotarians on such a special project to demonstrate to young students that literacy is important and the cornerstone to life's success. This project fits in with public officials' goals of making our community strong by instilling knowledge into the hands of a new generation.
