Dick HaleThanks to the suggestion of PDG Ralph Hammond, the Rotary Clubs of Concord, Bedford and Billerica were able to land a Simplified Grant to help fund the Concord River Boater's Trail Map. On August 2, the "map" was officially launched, with a tour of the Concord River on a pontoon boat. Attending were Rotarians Dawn Marshall and John Peterson of Billerica, Christine Pinney and Ralph Hammond of Bedford and June Grace and Dick Hale of Concord, along with Alison Field-Juma and Julia Khorana of OARS, a conservation organization focusing on the Assabet. Sudbury and Concord Rivers.. The map, a guide down the historic and scenic Concord River, is the first of its kind for the river, and has both an online and pocket version. To get your very own copy, go to www.sudbury-assabet-concord.org or stop by the Concord Visitor Center of South Bridge Boat House. Notice the Rotary Wheel on every copy!
