What's Happening at Rotary Club of Concord
Donate Personal Care Items for Open Table Food Pantry in Maynard
For a third year, the Rotary Club of Concord is spearheading a donation drive for personal care items for Open Table. The Drive will run from now until the end of March. The following items are not covered by SNAP/food support programs so Open Table must purchase them for the individuals and families they serve. This year federal cuts have made the NEED even greater.
Priority Items
Diaper Sizes: 4, 5, 6 and Baby Wipes for young families served by Open Table.
Donations of toothpaste and shampoo are also needed.
Items can be dropped off at any of the following LOCATIONS:
• Coldwell Banker Realty, 23 Monument Street
• Keller Williams Realty, 59 Walden Street, Concord
• Middlesex Bank, 64 Main St., Concord
 Verrill Farm, 11 Wheeler Road, Concord
• W. Concord Wine & Spirits, 1216 Main St.
• Spirits of Maynard in Maynard Crossing, MAYNARD
On Sunday December 7th our club participated in Concord's Annual Tree lighting festivities. We set up our Rotary tent and provided topping for the hot chocolate that Dunkins was giving out. Whipped cream, marshmallow, sprinkles and peppermint free for the asking! The atmosphere was cheerful as people waited for the arrival of Santa on a fire truck. There were lots of fun things happening with refreshments and entertainment, including carolers! The finale was the tree lighting at the circle in the center of town. Did you know that The Rotary Club of Concord donated that tree when the old one had to be replaced?      
 
 
Rotarians Richard Warren, Jeanne Armocida, Hilary Taylor and Heather Robertson had fun topping off the hot chocolate!
On Thursday October 23 many of our club members volunteered at Habitat for Humanity's latest Concord building project. The weather was perfect and our club enjoyed the hard work and camaraderie. We had a morning crew and an afternoon crew with a noon time break so we could all have lunch together. This is the third year we have participated in honor of June Grace, a much loved member of our club who was a huge supporter of Habitat.   
 
 
 
On September 25th some Concord Rotarians volunteered their time to help out at Gaining Ground. Jeanne Armocida, Sharon Spaulding and AnnTrudeau worked hard pulling out tomato plants, and planting spinach. They didn't let the rainy weather slow them down! Gaining Ground, a nonprofit organic farm in Concord, Massachusetts, grows vegetables and fruit with the help of several thousand community volunteers and donates all of this fresh food to area meal programs and food pantries. Our club has helped out in the past and continues to support this worthy organization which helps to combat food insecurity in Massachusetts.
Our club has lost an exemplary Rotarian and a true friend.  Always ready to jump in to help, we knew we could depend on him to support Rotary service projects with enthusiasm and hard work.  Dave was often seen cooking and preparing meals for Bristol Lodge. He volunteered with Open Table, Concord’s 250th Parade, Music Fest, and the Annual Golf Tournament. His family was also active in attending and supporting many of these events.
