While on vacation recently, our cruise made a stop in Tortola. It was a pleasant surprise to see a vibrant and active Rotary Club - I only wish our stop had been on a meeting day so I could've visited them to learn more about their projects. In the Cyril B. Romney Tortola Pier Park there were two peace poles in a beautiful peace garden, a podium on the bandstand with the Rotary logo, and just across the way they had several posters and an electronic billboard for advertising revenue. Hopefully I'll be able to visit again, Tortola was wonderful.

Have you ever wanted to learn more about how we use our Charitable and Educational Foundation funds? The RAYEs program (Rotary Advancing Youth in Education) is a shining example of Rotary in action and a beneficiary of funding by our Rotary club. Check out this excerpt from an interview with Derek Thompson, Principal of the Henry B. Burkland Elementary School, hosted by our very own Matthew Bruce, past President of the Middleboro Rotary Club.

We added seasonal touches last fall -- cornstalks & pumpkins - and followed that up with a large snowman for the winter. So this Spring week on May 1st we gathered there as a group, tools in hand and with many flowers and plenty of mulch and set to work
Special thanks to Heather, a nearby neighbor, who also brought plants and her helping hands. And, since it takes a Village, special thanks also to the couple walking by who stopped to inquire of our efforts and then offered their assistance and pitched right in! That's what it's all about!!
We hope to have more Middleboro citizens join us for our next round coming soon. Check us out here and on Facebook, or just Ask Quack!!!

On January 31st instead of our regular meeting we all gathered at Soule Homestead where they graciously loaned us their kitchen so we could make lasagnas for Lasagna Love. This is such a wonderful organization - borne out of love and kindness at the height of COVID, it resonates with people so much it has transformed into an international movement of kindness, impacting thousands of volunteers and recipient families each week. We couldn't be more excited to volunteer with this amazing organization...

Missy brought us some good points about what motivates people to join Rotary...
