What's Happening at Rotary Club of Concord
Serving Lunch to Veterans
On Nov. 12 Concord and Lexington Rotarians sponsored a lunch for Vets and their guests at the Bedford VA Hospital in honor of Veteran/s Day and their service to our country. Shown here: the delicious cake and scenes from the lunch after the memorial service. Thank you Vets and thank you Rotary. A beautiful tradition for all of us.
Worthy Village in Guatemala Meeting Topic
Julia Rayberg, co-founder and CEO of Worthy Village in Guatemala, presented an inspiring overview of the work this non-profit organization does to alleviate poverty in a country where 59% of the people live on a daily income of $3.20. Established in 2014, the organization is already addressing issues such as providing safe drinking water and heat, healthcare, education and local artisan projects. Rotary's Early Act Club at Carlisle Middle School raised funds to support Worthy Village and presented Rayberg with a check at the Rotary meeting Nov. 8. Shown in this photo, from the left, are Concord Rotarian Sharon Spaulding, Carlisle Middle School Teacher and Early Act sponsor Liz Gray and Julia Rayberg.
THAT WAS FUN!
A jovial crowd of 1100 attended Rotary's Oktoberfest Sept. 29. Perfect weather! Great beer samples. Lots of kids for the activities. Lively bands and lively dancers. Yummy food from food trucks and Verrills. Great selection of auction items. Vendors of all sorts, from jewelry to caramels. Thanks to all who volunteered and thanks to all who came to have fun and support our new local chapter of Sleep In Heavenly Peace, an organization that builds bunk beds for kids who have no beds of their own.
