Stories
Rotary After Dark
Our new schedule is officially underway.  We held our first regular dinner meeting on September 19 at RCTV.  We had a good crowd.  Lots of fun to get together after work and bask in the success of the Street Faire.  The group was especially chatty.  We even had a Street Faire Volunteer attend to check us out.  Overall, a great success.
 
Next meeting is Monday, October 3 at 12:15 at the Residence at Pearl.
Ed Fitzgerald is a Paul Harris Fellow
Congratulations to Ed Fitzgerald on his Paul Harris Recognition.  Shown here is Co-President John Douglass presenting the PHF to Ed.
 
We ask each Rotarian to make a voluntary Sustaining Member contribution of $100 to the Rotary Foundation.  The Paul Harris Fellow recognition acknowledges individuals who contribute, or who have contributions made in their name, of $1,000 to The Rotary Foundation.
 
Rotary established the recognition in 1957 to encourage and show appreciation for substantial contributions to what was then the Foundation’s only program, Rotary Foundation Fellowships for Advanced Study, the precursor to Ambassadorial Scholarships. 
 
Many notable figures have been named Paul Harris Fellows, including Mother Theresa, former President Jimmy Carter, Russian President Boris Yeltsin, U.S. astronaut James Lovell, UN Secretary-General Javier Perez de Cuellar, and polio vaccine developer Jonas Salk.
 
 
KC's Fish Story
Our own KC Latham has bagged himself a huge tuna.  Earlier this month, KC caught a 107 inch bluefin tuna on his boat.
 
Aside from running his insurance agency, Davis, Clark and Latham, KC is known for his love of fishing and the sea.  Over the years we ran the Auction, KC donated dozens of charter boat excursions.  KC's secret Rotary classification is Fisherman.
 
Congrats, KC, on landing the big one!
Town Beer Garden on Oct. 22
The Town is organizing another Beer Garden on the Common on October 22 from 1-7.  If you haven't checked out the previous ones, you should.
 
Town Manger Fidel Maltez has asked us to help spread the word.  So, come on down and bring a few friends.  Also, please spread the word as you can, on social media, email, word of mouth, etc.
 
There will be beer and non-alcoholic refreshments, food vendors and games for children.  It is a family friendly event and it would be great for Rotarians to support it.
Samantha's Harvest Golf:  Oct. 14
We know, we know...no one wants to talk about the summer coming to an end but Samantha's Harvest Tournament is something we all look forward to! 
 
We will again be holding our annual golf tournament at the Members Only Championship Course at Thomson Country Club in North Reading!
 
Our fun-filled day kicks off with lunch and registration at 11:30am and we will tee off promptly at 1pm.  There will be many tastings and contests throughout the course for your enjoyment and dinner will be held right at the clubhouse!
 
We'd love to have your assistance as a volunteer for the day and if so, you will be our guest for lunch and dinner. We will be honoring some folks at dinner who have gone above in beyond in helping us to realize our mission. If you can't join us for golf, please consider joining us for dinner for this and the auction!
 
We couldn't do this important work without your participation in so many ways...golfing, sponsorship, donating items for our auction and raffle, volunteering or coming to dinner!
Please be in touch with us for more information.
