Hi Fellow Rotarians,
I would like to thank Mike Shea for coordinating the semi-annual Roadside Cleanup effort on Earth Day. I would also like to thank Russ Gaskamp and the FPU football players for participating in the event. Twenty-two Rotarians, spouses, guests, and FPU football football players cleaned up over two miles of Route 202 in Rindge in support of Earth Day. Much fun was had by all, as we matched the students with Rotarians, so we had plenty of opportunity to mingle.
This Thursday, April 25th, finds the Jaffrey-Rindge Rotary Club supporting the “all town” Community Supper at the United Church of Jaffrey. Four Rotarians will be cooking the turkeys, and other Rotarians will be cooking potatoes; please plan to come to volunteer and join in the festivities (With all those Rotarians cooking, what could go wrong?)
In the meantime, eleven Interactors are in the Dominican Republic this week during their Spring Break and participating in their service project, one in which they are helping to make repairs to a school for impoverished Haitian immigrants, partly thanks to a donation from the Jaffrey-Rindge Rotary Club. The Interactors are accompanied by Conant staff and Rotarians. We look forward to the Interactors coming to an upcoming Rotary Club meeting to share their experiences. Thanks, also, to all the Rotarians who donated money to further reduce their costs.
As a result of the Community Supper, the Club will not meet this week at Franklin Pierce University. Our next meeting will be on Thursday, May 2nd, at 7:15am, at the University.
Yours in Service,
Bill and John
