District 7930 held its first ever New Member Orientation Welcome Party at the Four Points by Sheraton Hotel in Wakefield on January 11th. This interactive dinner event was organized to help Rotarians who joined since July 1, 2017 navigate the wide world of Rotary and learn more about the big picture of our organization.
Ipswich Rotary Club President Cushing Titcomb presented Ipswich Dinner Bell Executive Director Dorothy Calandra with a Paul Harris Fellow at the Ipswich Rotary evening meeting on December 13th at the newly opened True North Brewery in Ipswich. Ipswich Dinner Bell is a town-wide non-profit collaboration among Ipswich churches, individuals, and groups that exists to serve hot and nutritious meals free to all who come, while creating a mealtime atmosphere of fellowship. Meals are served every Monday evening at the Masonic Hall in Ipswich.
Reading Rotary helped coordinate the town Adopt-A-Family, a program which facilitates the giving of Thanksgiving meals and Christmas gifts and meals. Rotary worked with Reading Cares, another community service organization in town, along with the Town of Reading Elder Services and the Department of Public Works. Rotary has been partnering with these other organizations to see this community giving program through for the past several years.
Recently, John Williams and Becky Linhart, both RCoMH Rotarians, presented information on the Enhanced Scholarship Trust which was founded in 2006 by the RCoMH Board of Directors to provide a permanent funding source for scholarships. The mission of the Trust is to grow, manage and administer scholarships to help meet the needs of the community. The Enhanced Scholarship Trust is a 501(c)(3) and is managed by a professional capital management firm. The goal is to provide six 4-full year scholarships for high school students seeking degree courses and a "Second Chance Scholarship" for individuals who would like to take a course to enhance their career. Successful recipients for the Second Chance Scholarship will receive up to $2500 paid directly to the educational institution on their behalf. Courses may be taken at a college or university, but may not be a part of a degree program.
Chelsea police officer Sammy Mojica was a recent guest speaker at the Rotary Club of Chelsea. Officer Mojica is the Community Relations Officer for the Chelsea Police Department. Officer Mojica spoke about several programs the Chelsea Police Department has in place to build positive community relations. The one event the Rotarians were most interested in hearing about was how the Chelsea Police Department responded to a request by a little boy with cancer to be visited by a police officer.
Has your club recently hosted an event or project or are you planning something in the near future that you would like to share with your fellow District 7930 Rotarians?
