I am Sophie Saquet, a current senior at North Reading High School, and 2024 Miss North Reading. I am a finalist competing for the Miss Massachusetts USA title this March and I wanted to invite you to take part in this journey! Outside of my passion for pageants, I am member of the North Reading Interact Club, as well as serve as Vice Governor for the District 7930 Interact Council. I love to support the community I represent and to bring to life great opportunities for growth. For this reason, I established a GoFundMe that will not only support the finances required for me to compete in Miss Massachusetts, but half of the amount donated will go directly to suicide prevention. I hope you consider donating to this fund, as this cause is very important to me. If you have any questions, do not hesitate to reach out.  Download a flyer with details here.

At their weekly breakfast meeting, Marblehead Harbor Rotary members assembled Valentine’s Day cheer packs for 47 clients of a local rehabilitation and skilled nursing home.  The tiny arrangements contained faux rosebuds and were designed to give lasting happiness in smaller spaces like a bed table or bureau top. A card of good wishes accompanied each bud vase.

This week, Woburn Rotary's annual defibrillator donation was presented to the Woburn Public Library. Library Director and Honorary Rotary member Hermayne Gordon was there to accept the donation.

Also, Rotary Club of Woburn President Brian Ouellette presented a short film he filmed and directed about the library titled "The Renovation & Expansion of the Woburn Public Library". The film documents the construction of the library addition from 2016 - 2019 using drone footage and rare construction footage of inside the library. The film was co-directed by Susan Thifault and written and narrated by former library director Andrea Bunker. Special thanks to former long-time library director Kathy O'Doherty and President of Library Trustees Richard Mahoney for their input on the film.
