The Nairator: Rotary Club of Haverhill, Massachusetts
Successful Kettle Drive
Tuesday, December 19, 2006
Hi
Tim,
Part of settling in to our new home at the Haverhill Country Club is
moving things around a bit. This week's head table, moved to the middle of the
room worked out well. Thanks to all for the suggestion. As a reminder, Mary Gale
will be sitting at that table welcoming all to sign her book for the next few
weeks.
Saturday we had great weather for bell ringing. The sky was clear
and the breeze was gentle. Thanks to all who rang the bell and contributed to
the annual kettle drive for the Salvation Army. Although we don't have an
"official" count yet, I know from very good authority that Rotary collected a
bundle and the difference between the collections may come down to the
coins!
Our Annual Diamond Raffle is fast approaching. The time is now to
turn in your ticket money.
Happy Hanukah to all our Jewish members and
friends.
Until next time,
President Darlene
Here 'N There
Greg
DiBurro's Paul Harris "hardware" finally arrived, which hardware he can, but
shouldn't, wear while fishing or snowmobiling, if he can find snow.
The
podium has moved along with our President. Best wishes in your new location, in
the middle of the room.
Happy Hannukah to our Jewish friends and our
Rabbi's.
Though we are children only once, we can keep the child in us
forever. Try it.
Despite the balmy weather, we are collecting gloves and
mittens next week.
Program Highlights
Jay
Robie, Director of Corporate Internship Program at Notre Dame High School in
Lawrence was our speaker.
Notre Dame High School opened to 80 students in
2004 with 20 local businesses who agreed to have students work at entry level
intern positions.
Students attend class 4 days a week and spend the fifth
day at an internship position. The internship position allows the student to
earn money towards school tuition.
There are 12 schools nationally
following this model, following the original school in Chicago.
Students'
contributions add value to a business and save businesses' money with the
services provided by the students.
The program provides accountability
because the students are responsible, mature and accountable to their sponsors,
classmates and school. The students exhibit a solid work ethic.
Positions
are available for students. Transportation is provided for the
students.
This week's MVP's are John Hamel, Frank Novak, Chuck Traver and
Bonnie Michaleas. Write those $100.00 checks and you too can be awarded the
prestigious Haverhill Rotary Football!
Some
habits are hard to break. Our most recent Paul Harris fellow is pictured here
serving Rotarians and a way he is most accustom.
