Please note that our Speaker on Monday, Oct 21 will be none other than Rep. Rich Haggerty.  Rich represents Reading and another adjacent town.  Rich is also a longtime friend of Reading Rotary and also happens to be our own Dick Haggerty's son.  Let's try to have a full house to hear, Rep. Haggerty.

 

We are mixing up our scheduling for our monthly Evening Social for October.  Northern Bank will host us on Tuesday, Oct. 22 for an open house from 5:30-7:30 pm.  This is part of Northern's 5 year anniversary celebration.  There will be beverages and hors d'oeuvres.  Jenniffer Rogers, Rotarian and Branch Manager, has graciously invited our Club.  Please try to be there for a great time and to support Jenn.  

 

Note, we have two (2) meetings that week.  This is due to Northern's invite plus we had conflicts will scheduling the Evening Social later in the month.

 

Attendance at our Evening Socials have been low lately.  Please make it a point to attend, if you are able.

 

Reading Rotary is once again working the Snack Shack at Friday Night RMHS football games.  It is a fun way to provide a community service and some food to local football fans.  The Rockets are first in their division and are hoping to have some home playoff games before Thanksgiving.  Mark your calendar for Thanksgiving morning.  Reading will host Stoneham in the annual Turkey Day game.

 

 

We are grateful that the 2019 Reading Fall Street Faire was such a huge hit!  The weather was absolutely perfect and the crowd was huge.  Lots of people are saying it was the best one yet.

 

Thanks to the Committee, including Chair John Feudo, Sheila Clarke, Gregg Johnson, Ed Sartell, Jenn Rogers, Kathi Spurr, Mark Beckley, KC Latham, Tim Kelley, Denise Eaton, Bob Beckman, Kristen Bonazali, Paul Gargano.

 

Also we need to thank our generous sponsors.  See our major sponsors' banners still hanging on Haven Street.  Thanks also to all the vendors and groups. We had tremendous support from hundreds of community volunteers with the set up and breakdown.  Last but by no means least, thanks to the Town staff including DPW and Facilities who did an outstanding job all day with the set up and clean up.

 

We are appreciative of the partnership with the Town of Reading, the RPD, the RFD and Health Department.  It was a team effort from the whole community and we have a lot to be proud of and thankful for.

 

On to 2020!

 

Reading Rotary is partnering with Reading Cooperative Bank and the friends and family of Camille Anthony to provide a fund for donations in the memory of Camille for a clock to be erected in downtown Reading.

 

Camille was a long time community volunteer, service notably on the Select Board, Conservation Committee, Town Meeting and numerous other Town committees.  She was a steady hand in Reading.

 

Camille always wanted to see a prominent clock somewhere in Downtown Reading.  To help see her vision as a reality, you may donate to the Service is Timeless Fund at Reading Cooperative Bank.  You may make your donation online also here.
