Meetings
at Whittier & Winnekenni Fun Thank you all for showing confidence in me as your president. I appreciate the support that so many have given and continue to give. We truly have a great club! Special thanks to Renee Harlow for hosting our meeting at Whittier’s Birthplace in June and giving us a great tour of the property. Thanks also to Vince Bonnano for making the arrangements with Renee and making sure the food arrived! In July the club met at Winnekinni Castle and got a good look at our Centennial sign project. Thanks to Ken Smith for making all the arrangements with the Winnekinni folks. August takes us right into classification talks. We are fortunate to have had seven new members join our club last year. I look forward to hearing their talks in the weeks ahead. If you have a program idea or interesting speaker, please contact Vince Bonnano. I know from experience that scheduling speakers can be a tough job. Pam Carr has asked that if you believe you have or are close to having 100% attendance for last year to please check with her soon. DG Donna Wayman recently passed along a piece of information that Rotary Foundation has received a 4-STAR (out of 4) rating from Charity Navigator, America's largest independent evaluator of charities. This is quite a high honor and one that all Rotarians can be proud as we Lead the Way into the 2006-2007 Rotary year. Until
next time, Opportunity
Works Evolves to Meet Need Opportunity Works serves more than 150 people including those in the Haverhill area. It provides production services to help job development, job placement and job support. Many of the people now served by Opportunity Works were once residents of various state schools and hospitals for physically and mentally disabled individuals. Today the services are available to persons suffering from conditions such as autism, mental retardation and other developmental disabilities. Opportunity works helps the individuals and helps change the attitudes towards individuals who are handicapped or disabled. The employment support program teaches basic work schools, employment, vocational training skills and a work ethic. Opportunity Works provide3d services to 80 local businesses last year. Red
Ribbon Means Singing the Blues There is a red ribbon for a “blue” service club based on a local vote on the best service club in a local newspaper. Our
acting Sergeant at Arms collected a bundle today, which
should concern our Sgt. At Arms,
Buddy Baker. International traveler Don Laing hit China and South Paris this weekend all in the state of Maine. The Red Sox’ back to back 1-0 shut outs were repeated in the early nineteen hundreds by a young Boston pitcher named Ruth. — From July 20 Rotary Year 2006-2007 is the best Deal! The birthday cake returns. Is the cribbage board and game next or is it the four way test sign? Today, July 13th was the lucky and deserving day for the many local charities that Haverhill Rotary contributed to from the many dollars donated throughout the course of the year. Happily our coffers are empty as we start every year. — From July 13.
