This past weekend, members of the Winchester Rotary volunteered at the Greater Boston Food Bank, sorting and packing food for families across Eastern Massachusetts facing food insecurity. It was a meaningful reminder of how a few hours of service can make a real difference for our neighbors in need. We’re proud to support the Food Bank’s important work and grateful to our members who continue to put Service Above Self into action.

Rotary Club Hosts “Rise Against Hunger” Event: 10,000+ Meals Packed for People in Need October 9th, more than 70 volunteers from the Rotary Club and community came together for a Rise Against Hunger meal-packing event — the results were inspiring. In just a few hours, the team prepared over 10,000 nutritious meals for communities facing worldwide food insecurity. The event reflected Rotary’s “Service Above Self spirit, bringing together members, families, and friends to make a tangible difference for those in need. Rotary is proud to support international humanitarian efforts like Rise Against Hunger and local projects that uplift our communities. Together, we continue to show that when caring people unite, even small actions can have a global impact.

More than 70 volunteers—Rotarians, WHS Interact Club members, Lion’s Heart members, families, and Kids’ Corner staff, assembled 15 wooden beds on Saturday, September 27, at Kids’ Corner. The project, organized in partnership with the Lynn-based Massachusetts Coalition for the Homeless, will provide safe beds for local children who have experienced homelessness. “As Rotarians, our motto is Service Above Self,” said Club President Rebecca Brennan-Laird. “Our club is doing what we can to make our community—and our world—a better place, whenever and wherever we can.” One longtime Rotarian said it was especially gratifying to work shoulder-to-shoulder with young people on a hands-on project with immediate impact.

It is with deep sadness that we announce the passing of Berta Swanson at 100 years old. Berta has been a Winchester Rotarian since 2004. She was a PHF+ and a cherished member of this club. She will be sorely missed. Berta’s commitment and enthusiasm for Rotary were boundless. She made significant contributions and served on many committees, such as her long tenure on the Scholarship Committee. Berta epitomized “Service Above Self.” Our thoughts and prayers go out to her Family. The family will hold a “Celebration of Life” in the future, and we as a club will also have a “Remembrance of Berta” at a later date.

Rotary sponsors museum passes as an excellent service to the community. It's one of the first things the libraries mention to new library users and is featured on the first page of our welcome brochure. They are so grateful for the Rotary's support! Our museum pass program enables library patrons to visit eighteen local museums, parks, and attractions at a discounted rate. These passes are an especially popular offering over school vacations and summer break. In 2024, WPL patrons made 1,659 museum pass reservations, and nearly 700 of those were for the five institutions supported by the Rotary: The Peabody Essex Museum, the Institute of Contemporary Art, the Trustees GO Pass, The Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum, and Zoo New England. Most of these passes are delivered via email, making it easier than ever to access these wonderful resources!

Volunteers are needed at Music MAYnia. Here’s the sign-up genius for volunteering at the event—it lists all the possibilities and times. We hope Rotary helpers will adopt the Lollipop Raffle slots (a total of 4 – 2 for each shift) to keep it simple. The time slots are 11:15-2 PM and 1:45-5:15. If people have any questions, they can email Laurie Russell. The Lollipop Raffle is a fun and easy activity for staff. You can stand or sit while participating. To protect yourself from the elements, you’ll be under a 10x10 pop-up tent. Sign Up HERE

Our speaker this week is from Mass Teacher Resources, a non-profit that helps teachers working in economically disadvantaged schools in Eastern Massachusetts. Almost everyone knows teachers who need resources, and a teacher has impacted everyone. These professionals (who don’t make much money to begin with), on average, spend $500-1000 to support their classrooms. Learn how this organization is striving to help them.

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!

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) (Proud Mom of Captain Amanda Indoor/Outdoor ’22 & ’23) Ps Amanda was one of 8 great captains-- pictured in the middle of the pic collage!

The Winchester Rotary awarded the Health Clinic in Kenya a grant to fund a new CTG monitor. The CTG monitor has arrived, and the team has been trained to operate it. The head nurse, Alice, commented that, to her knowledge, only one other facility in our county has a CTG machine. This is a huge step towards providing high-quality care to the mothers in their community. With this machine, they will better assess fetal well-being and refer women who need more care. A big thank you from the nursing team and Frankie Sadler, Director at the clinic. Our club should be proud of making this happen. They are very grateful. http://theleoproject.org

Our Rotary Club sponsored Muraco Elementary School repairs last spring for their Gaga Pit. Gaga is a fast-paced, high-energy sport played in an octagonal pit. The more players, the better! Dubbed a kinder, gentler version of dodgeball, the game is played with a soft foam ball and combines the skills of dodging, striking, running, and jumping, while trying to hit opponents with a ball below the knees. All the local schools have a pit.

Muraco School Thank You

Rotary International President McInally presents his initiative for the coming year for mental health. His quote.... This is exactly what Rotary is all about. Our clubs and our global community create opportunities for members to be their whole, authentic selves in the name of Service Above Self. We show each other comfort and care. We share with friends not just the good times and triumphs, but also the moments when nothing is going right. At our best, we create a place where we can freely ask each other: How are you? How are you really? Read the whole report here:

Interested in joining Winchester Rotary Club? The Winchester Rotary introduced the potential of Rotary to new people who want to make a difference in their community. However, for many, the traditional service club model of required weekly meetings just doesn't fit into the busy lives we all live today. So Winchester Rotary created two new membership levels. A Service Membership has fewer meeting requirements, lower membership fees, and evening meeting options. A Corporate Membership is very similar to our traditional membership option. The principal corporate member gets all of the benefits included with a traditional membership, along with the flexibility to send a designee/associate to meetings that he/she cannot attend each month. Corporate members may also bring associates to help at Rotary service projects. We encourage all principal corporate members to attend at least one monthly meeting.

 As most of you know, our new International Rotary President, Jennifer Jones, has committed to building a Rotary world "where people unite and take action to create lasting change." In support of this goal, Rotary Clubs are reviewing their current and establishing new operating programs and procedures to value diversity and celebrate the contributions of people of all backgrounds, regardless of their age, ethnicity, race, color, abilities, religion, socioeconomic status, culture, sex, sexual orientation, and gender identity. Our Rotary District 7930 has been incredibly proactive in developing programs, policies, procedures, and specific aggressive recruitment efforts to ensure that our membership represents the diverse environment we serve. Many activities are already in place and available for implementation and internal/external communication. Before doing that, we need a formal document confirming our commitment to D, E, and I and identifying the necessary actions and activities for its success. So, I am reaching out to you, our members, and asking for volunteers who want to work with me and others to implement a competitive D.E and I policy program. I am available to discuss this with individual members or small groups if you are interested in serving on this committee. I may be reached at: walsh424@verizon.net. Please include a contact number or address where I may call you. Thank you! Exciting times are ahead!

For most in the room today the name Albert "Al" Hovannesian has no significance. If you were told he was a Past President of this club you could research the club site, find the list of past presidents and find the name Hovannesian at number 45 out of 90 and that's about all the information available. I would like to give you a little insight into who Al was besides a name on a list....

2015 Polar Plunge on Saturday, April 11, 2015 @ Gloucester
(Note New Date)
The Polar Plunge Committee has been hard at work to make the 2015 Plunge the best ever! We hope to not only increase the number of participants, but also to raise over $125,000 to help eradicate Polio. With the help of the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation, and their 2 to 1 match, we can provide over 625,000 vaccinations.
For details and to donate, please check out the following pages:
