Hi Fellow Rotarians,
 
We meet for our Club Assembly this Thursday at The Shattuck.  John McCarthy has the Invocation.
 
Hard to believe the Rotary year is coming to a close in another ten days or so. Gavel Knight is next week (June 28th) at Peter Russell's. Everyone is asked to bring an appetizer or desert. BYOB, of course, unless we can raid the Russell wine cellar!  I have a few special recognition awards to give out... and I look forward to seeing everyone there for this fun-filled social.
 
BEST training occurred this morning, hosted by the four Middle School teachers with whom we will be working. Some new approaches were shared with the many Rotarians that were there for the sixty-minute program.  Good to see Al Clapp again, one of our stauch BEST supporters!
 
During those weeks in which we host a guest speaker, we present them with a nice certificate of appreciation. We also reference the annual donation that we make to the local food pantries as one means of thanking them for their presentation.  This Thursday, Charitable Giving will present checks to Kathleen Larou from the Jaffrey Food Pantry and Cynthia Childs from the Rindge Food Pantry.  Our Happy Fines is from where those monies come, so keep up the good work when Tom Bennett and Bill Driscoll come around with microphones in hand.
 
I plan to present my "President's Report" on Thursday -- looking back, it was very impressive what YOU have done over the past 12 months. 
 
See you then!
 
Yours in Service,
