    Filling Bags of Hope in Lynn
    Posted by William Reilly on Jul 31, 2023
    On Thursday July 27, 2023, the Rotary Club of Lynn gathered at the Old Tyme restaurant to fill Bags of Hope with personal care items. The collection of bags is for the Jasmine Grace Outreach program, the items are primarily for women.

    Women who are living on the streets or in programs throughout Massachusetts and New Hampshire are given Bags of Hope filled with basic items that we take for granted every day. In collaboration with programs serving women affected by trafficking, prostitution, addiction and homelessness, Bags of Hope is driven by the community. Many different groups of people are donating the items, filling the bags and handing them out! By doing this we let the women know there is a better way, they are treasured people, and that we are here to help.

    Melrose Invites You to Come From Away
    Posted by Stephanie Nelson on Aug 04, 2023
    Join us August 31 at 6 pm for a viewing of Apple TV’s presentation of the hit musical Come From Away with keynote speaker Kevin Tuerff.
     
    Tickets required, available online through EventBrite, suggested donation $10.00 per ticket.
     
    GET TICKETS.  For additional information click here.  Melrose Rotary is a Silver Sponsor of this wonderful community event.
     
    On 9/11, 38 planes, carrying 7,000 passengers were forced to land in Gander, Newfoundland, Canada when US airspace was shut down. Kevin Tuerff was one of those passengers. The kindness and compassion he experienced shaped his life’s purpose from that point forward. We are honored to have Kevin speak at our community viewing of Come From Away.
     
    In 2002, Kevin began an annual tradition to honor the lives lost in the 9/11 attacks, and also pay tribute to the heroes of Newfoundland, Canada, who showed the world their kindness in 2001. To learn more, visit Kevin’s website Pay It Forward 9.11.
