Dear Rotarians,
This week, our Jaffrey-Rindge Rotary Club meeting will be held at Cathedral of the Pines on Thursday, May 15th, at 7:15am.
We will begin with coffee, allowing time for pleasant table conversations. This is a wonderful opportunity to connect, share stories, and enjoy fellowship before we officially start the meeting.
At this meeting, we will honor the Student of the Month from Conant High School, Robert Gregory. Our club takes great pride in building strong relationships with our district schools and recognizing outstanding students from elementary through high school each month. Many thanks to Rotarian Sam Lafortune for making this possible.
Last week, our meeting began with a heartfelt invocation by John McCarthy, followed by the Pledge of Allegiance and the singing of "America the Beautiful." We had productive club updates, welcomed guests, and conducted our happy fines and various other club activities. We are collecting names of Rotarians planning to attend the dinner and social night on Golf Tournament day, May 21. If you haven't signed up yet, please contact Rotarian Jon Frederick as soon as possible so we can plan accordingly. We are excited about this special Golf Tournament Day.
At last week's breakfast meeting - the last at Franklin Pierce University until school begins in the Fall - we enjoyed an excellent presentation by Rotarian Dr. Marc Winiecki on the current state of the healthcare system. He shared insights on transparent pricing, direct doctor access, unhurried visits, after-hours support provided by Monad Doc Health Direct, and addressed deeply rooted issues related to healthcare trends in the U.S.
On May 9th, Rotarians Bob Schaumann, Jim Banghart, Owen Houghton, Jed Brummer, and Donna Senechal volunteered to help with sneaker deliveries at Rindge Memorial School and Jaffrey Grade School. Over 75 second graders are proud owners of new "sneaks," courtesy of the Elm City Rotary Club in Keene. Your service is greatly appreciated!
We look forward to seeing you this Wednesday. Your enthusiasm, dedication, and spirit of service continue to bring joy and strength to our communities.
Yours in Service,
Rudra
