Enjoying an evening of holiday cheer with members and guests last week for our annual holiday party was wonderful. Here are a few pictures.
This holiday season, the Winchester Rotary Club and Winchester High School’s Interact Club joined forces to deliver joy and warmth to our community. Together, they provided over 100 holiday meals to senior citizens residing at the Winchester Housing Authority.
The initiative brought smiles, comfort, and a sense of connection to Winchester’s senior residents, ensuring that no one felt alone during this festive time of year. The Rotary and Interact Club members worked hand in hand, embodying the true spirit of giving and community service.
With profound sadness, tempered by the love and respect for his long and impactful life, we announce the passing of Rotarian, Dick Sampson.
Dick passed away peacefully, in his sleep, early on Friday morning.
The family has planned a celebration of Dick’s life. Please see the following

Our speaker this week will be from Community Servings.
They offer 16 medical diets designed to help people improve their health through nutritionally appropriate food scratch-made from wholesome ingredients. Annually, they make and home-deliver over a million meals to thousands of families impacted by critical or chronic illness.
Join us Thursday at the Church—at 12:15 pm.
The Service meeting welcomed our Global Scholar, Carina Stone, from Australia to the meeting. She is studying at the Harvard Kennedy School, and we are thrilled to be her host club.
Following our lunch meeting, these volunteers gathered for a meaningful service project: packing Thanksgiving baskets for the Council for Social Concern. The Club donated over $1500 to fill the baskets, and thank you, Rich Mucci, for shopping!
With the holiday season upon us, it was heartwarming to see the dedication and teamwork of our members as we assembled baskets filled with essential holiday items. These baskets will be distributed to local families in need, ensuring they can enjoy a festive and comforting Thanksgiving meal.
Wishing everyone a joyful and generous holiday season!
Big thanks to everyone who helped make this year's Woburn & Winchester Football lunch a success. Davis Clarke, a 2015 WHS Graduate and football captain, gave a great speech, and it was wonderful to celebrate the captains and cheerleaders. This will be the 133rd meeting of the two teams, and the record is tied at the moment, so hopefully, the Red & Black will be successful on Thanksgiving Day!
We had a great turnout of Rotarians, Interactors, Community Members, and Intactors from Woburn to pack 10,000 meals for Rise Against Hunger. Thanks to all who participated as we do our part to fight hunger in troubled spots around the globe.
Special thanks to Will Green from Edward Jones for donating pizza for all!
Check out all the photos from the event.
Thanks to a generous grant from Winchester Rotary, WinCAM was able to purchase a new Mac Studio to supplement our editing suites. It's equipped with some of the newest editing software including the entire Adobe Creative Cloud and Final Cut Pro.

Dear Winchester Rotary Club,
We hope that your family and you are having a great summer! Though it was over a year in the making as the many parts came together, the WHS Track and Field equipment shed is finally complete (YAHOO! 😊). We are especially excited to share this news with you, as the final piece of this special project is the donor recognition board, where Winchester Rotary Club’s generosity and that of our other donors is commemorated.
Although there are pictures attached, we really hope you can come by and see it in person sometime at Knowlton Field! The coaches and the athletes have been using the shed and its equipment (also funded by your generosity) all year and are very grateful.
Thank you for making this terrific and impactful project a reality!
On behalf of WHS Track & Field Families,
Warmly,
Mai Harrison 😊 (Team Treasurer 2021-2023)

Ps Amanda was one of 8 great captains-- pictured in the middle of the pic collage!
