The Helicopter Golf Ball Drop Is Complete!
We sold 1152 of the 1500 available balls. The winners for closest and furthest to the pin have been notified. The winner of the wreath of scratch tickets was drawn from a pool of those entries buying $100 sets of balls (one chance for each hundred). We’ll have a recap of the finances shortly.
Thank you all for your efforts at making this a success! A community get-together was held in conjunction with this event with participation from various non-profits (the bunnies were popular).
The Blessed Baskets for Veterans Event is kicking off and two of our members will be facilitating collection so you can drop off donations at Northern Bank (Sheikh) and Sotheby's (Colleen's office. You may create a complete basket, donate useful goods, volunteer or make a monetary contribution. The drive runs through November 12th. This effort supports Veteran Pathways of New England.

Volunteer Opportunities
Oct 21 Halloween Trunk or Treat, Wednesday, October 21st, 5:30pm to 7:30pm. We will have a table with Halloween trinkets and our Minion set up for photo opportunities.
These volunteer opportunities that note, “we will have a table” means that we will have a presence at the event, usually under our Rotary canopy with various giveaways, sometimes games, and information on the Rotary mission and activities. These provide an opportunity to “show our colors” in the community and attract potential members. It’s also a chance to socialize with other community organizations. Patti does most of the coordination (and work) but it would be good for members to participate to distribute the workload. Please coordinate with Patti.
