It gives me great pleasure to announce the results of the Nominating Committee, who met on November 2nd, 2022.  After interviewing several candidates, the decision was made to nominate Pooja Singla, past president of Burlington Breakfast Rotary Club, and current Assistant Governor, as the new District Governor for Rotary Year 2025-26.

 

According to the bylaws of District 7930, if there are no dissensions by December 31, 2022, Pooja will be considered elected by acclimation, and will start her role as DGND (District Governor Nominee Designate) on January 1, 2023.

Program book ads are no longer available, as the deadline for those has already passed - sorry!

How do you spend your Friday nights this fall?  Reading Rotarians are busy running the Snack Shack for Friday night high school football games at Reading Memorial High School.  Since 2015, Reading Rotary has run the Shack, selling burgers, hot dogs, pizza, pretzels, popcorn, candy and hot and cold drinks to the crowd.

 

Reading High's Shack Shack had been operated by the Reading Boosters Club but as their numbers dwindled, the Town of Reading asked Rotary to take on its operation.  The Shack provides opportunities as both a public service and a fundraiser.  Running the Shack Shack at such crowded sporting events also allows Rotary to publicize Rotary’s mission to the Town folk.  Rotary has signage and informational literature displayed at each Snack Shack game.

 

Reading Rotary’s Snack Shack will be open again this Thanksgiving morning for the traditional Reading-Stoneham game.  Pictured here are Co-President John Douglas and Richie Lombardo on the grill at a recent game.

The Paul Harris Society recognizes people who commit to contributing US$1,000 or more each year to the Annual Fund, PolioPlus, or an approved global grant. The society’s purpose is to honor and thank people for their generous and ongoing support of The Rotary Foundation.

 

Paul Harris Society contributions count toward several different kinds of individual recognition, and members receive a chevron-style pin and a certificate. Members are also listed in the Paul Harris Society Report.
