Rotarians have fun serving the community. Join us!
Thanks to the great crew of workers who stuffed around 300 literacy bags for our Rotary Readers project. We will be visiting all the Kindergarten classrooms and reading to the students. Each K student will receive a literacy bag including 2 early reading books.
On Feb. 27, Town Manager Fidel Maltez attended our meeting to introduce Ben Cares, the new Director of Economic Development in Reading. Ben was our speaker and talked about the many exciting things going on in the Town and what he has been working on since his arrival toward the end of 2022.
We have been invited by Dr. Sudeshna Chatterjee to attend a community workshop on disability inclusion. Sudeshna is Reading's Director for Equity & Social Justice and was recently spoke at our meeting. She is hosting this workshop with Reading SEPAC on March 30, 5:30 to 7:30 PM at RPL Community Rooms. Reading like many municipal and school districts have long struggled with disability inclusive recreation and services for the youth and seniors alike. In a first of its kind community workshop/training, the goal is to bring together community members including residents, advocates and employees in the interest of inclusive culture development in town, geared specifically towards collaborative learning and inter community trust building. Partner include Reading Schools, the Y and Pleasant St Center for this program.
Note our next scheduled meeting is Feb. 27 at 6 pm at RCTV. Featured with be Reading's new Economic Development Director, Ben Cares, along with Town Manager Fidel Maltez.
Reading Rotary is turning 100 years old in 2023. We will be participating in a Multi Club Gala on May 13 at the Ipswich Country Club, so please save the date. More information will be coming regarding pricing and how to reserve tickets..png)
