Rotary Connects!
Rotary International President Mark Daniel Maloney's 2019-20 presidential theme, Rotary Connects the World, is a powerful statement. In theme with President Mark's vision, District 7930 has established a new membership initiative: Rotary Connects. “The first emphasis is to grow Rotary — to grow our service, to grow the impact of our projects, but most importantly, to grow our membership so that we can achieve more,” Maloney said, and he believes that connection is at the heart of the Rotary experience. District 7930 also thinks so.
 
Please join us on August 21st to CONNECT.
 
D7930 to Honor a Veteran with a Service Dog

Save the Date: November 7, 2019

Foundation Celebration-- Service Dog Award

Our district is looking for your help to honor a Veteran who would benefit from a service dog.  Service Dogs cost approximately $20,000.00 and we are looking for your Club to donate funds to provide a  Great Dane from the Ipswich Service Dog Project to a Veteran.
 
Great Danes are perfect service dogs to help those in need, suffering from PTSD or having balance/walking difficulty.  The District will be providing $10,000.00 from Foundation funds and we are asking for Club donations to support this most incredible gift.  
 
Donations can be sent to
District 7930
c/o Joan Arsenault
79 Old Right Rd 
Ipswich, MA  01938
 
Those clubs who donate will receive special recognition at the Foundation Celebration on November 7th at the Andover Country Club.  The Service Dog will be donated that evening and First Lady Lauren Baker to be in attendance.  A night to remember!!!  
 
Thank you for your consideration.
