Boston Rotaractors raised nearly $10,000 during the 2018-2019 Rotary Year with the goal of providing sustainable clean water solutions to communities in Ghana. August 12, 2019 marked the successful completion of their long-term international service project.

 

In order to pursue the two-year clean water mission, the club collaborated with two organizations: 1. Pure Home Water (PHW) and 2. The Rotaract Club of Adenta Central.

 

PHW is an MIT-based social enterprise that creates and distributes household drinking water technologies in the northern region of Ghana. Boston Rotaract donated $8,500 to two separate PHW initiatives from 2018-2020. As a result, 222 sustainable water filters were given to families, providing access to clean water to 1,500 people across three communities in Tamale, Ghana. The project was completed in July 2019.

The Gloucester Rotary Club will publish a 12-month Cape Ann photo calendar for 2020 as a fundraiser.  All profits will go to the Gloucester Rotary Club’s many community and international activities.

 

Full contest rules and requirements are available online at www.gloucesterrotary.org.  All entries must be received by 12:00 p.m. on Friday, September 20, 2019.

 

The Topsfield-Boxford-Middleton Club will hosst its 4oth Annual Fall Foliage Classic in Topsfield on Sunday, October 20. The event is a family friendly event and the club's major fundraiser. This year's main beneficiary is the Northshore Education Consortium.

 

We would argue that you will not find a more beautiful course as this race is held at the height of foliage!

 

Whether or not you are on track to be a club officer, as a Rotarian you are already a leader in your profession and community.

 

BUT…Good leaders know that they can always learn more to help them become better leaders!
