SHARON SPAULDING ORGANIZED ROTARIANS TO HELP AT VA HOSPITAL

The Rotary Clubs of Bedford, Concord and Lexington joined forces to help host a picnic lunch for patients and their families at the VA Hospital in Bedford following a Memorial Day Service held there on May 26, 2014.  This is the third year the three clubs have participated in this meaningful event, thanks to the organizing efforts of Concord Rotarian Sharon Spaulding.  Some of those present are shown here:
