August is Membership and New Club Development Month

Posted by Peter Majane, District Membership Chair on Aug 02, 2024

With the month of August upon us, we recognize Membership and New Club Development Month. In order to grow Rotary and increase our impact, we need “all hands on deck” to share the gift of Rotary with new acquaintances, old friends, co-workers and neighbors, and all who are interested in service and want to be a part of an organization that is doing good in the world.

The second strategic priority of our Rotary Action Plan is Expand our Reach. If more people affiliate with Rotary as members, participants and partners, we’ll grow our capacity to make a greater impact. This priority focuses on how we can share our values with new audiences, create new ways to bring people together to experience the power of Rotary, and prove we are an organization that’s inclusive, engaging, compassionate, and ambitious on behalf of the world. Please take a couple of minutes to view this video with Director Chris Etienne and Bina Ahmad sharing the success of growing Rotary in District 7230 (NY city area).

Andover Donates Endoscopic Surgical System to Ukraine

Posted by Diana Kiesel on Jul 30, 2024

Earlier this spring, the Rotary Club of Andover in collaboration with the Rotary Club of Cherkasy, the Rotary Club of Kyiv-City, Ukraine, and the Cambridge-Isanti Rotary club coordinated and donated an Olympus endoscopic surgical system at a cost of $16,900 to Yemilchnye Hospital in Ukraine.

Endoscopy, often referred to as gastroscopy, is a medical procedure that allows a doctor to observe the inside of the body and perform less invasive surgery without major incisions.

The system was purchased and shipped by Andover Rotary with a grant from the Andover Rotary Charitable Trust, a Rotary District Matching Grant, and donations from club members.
