Thursday, November 11 will be our annual Rotary Foundation event “A Celebration of Our Heroes” starting at 5:30 PM at the Danversport. The evening will include a social hour, silent auction, dinner, and Paul Harris Fellowship presentations.

All Rotary Club are invited to nominate one hero from their community to present them with a Paul Harris Fellowship (PHF) recognition at the event. Candidates could be doctors, nurses, teachers, crossing guards, essential workers, emergency services personnel, armed forces, or anyone else whom the Rotary Club believes to be a community hero – especially those heroes who rose to the challenge during the recent pandemic and helped their communities through tough times. The online nomination form is being sent to Club Presidents. 

We would also like to ask all Rotary Clubs to start thinking about silent auction items: we would ideally like to see items with a minimum value of $100, so that we will have a great selection of high-value items that people will be eager to bid on! All monies raised in the silent auction will directly go to The Rotary Foundation!

There will be a program book for the event that will contain the bio for each hero as well as ads from event sponsors and local businesses to help reduce the cost of the dinner. Sponsorship and ad details will be announced in early September, and we hope that many of you will consider putting in an ad for your business to help support this event.
