Rotary Day of Service, May 20th from 10am to 2pm - The Rotary Club of Middleboro helped the Town of Middleborough prepare for their event to honor our Hometown Heroes by hanging Patriot Banners downtown.
To continue our Book Box project, we coordinated with Middleboro Conservation Commission agent Trisha Cassady and enlisted the help of Middleboro High School Innovation Coordinator Tony Chiuppi and several of his students to build and install a box at Pratt Farm.

In 2013 the Middleboro Rotary club partnered with Middleboro Public Schools to create an innovative tutoring program called Rotary Rays which serves students in grades 4 and 5 at both the Mary K Goode and Henry B Burkland Elementary Schools. Participating students and their parents enter into a contract where the students agree to attend all sessions and work at home an additional hour per week with their parents, and the parents agree to make sure their child attends the sessions and does the homework. Over the years students who have participated in the program have made dramatic gains in their performance on MCAS.

We have undertaken the Little Book Box project. Our goal is to ‘plant’ Book Boxes around our community for use by both children & adults. These are ‘Take a Book – Keep a Book’ locations.
So far we have installed them at the Old Colony YMCA in Middleboro, the North Congregational Church, LifeHouse Church, Pierce Playground & Field of Dreams. We have another ready to be planted at Pratt Farm, and are working with the First Unitarian Universalist Church of Middleboro for another. As of late 2021 we collaborated with MHS who has, with 5th grade assistance, completed four additional Book Boxes for future planting!

In support of School on Wheels [SoWMA] each year we run a backpack and school supplies drive. We’ve been able to provide them with large quantities of donated new stuffed backpacks for their Backpack program. In 2020-2021 we collaborated with Plymouth Rotary and a grant from Walmart in Plymouth to fund a $2800 shopping event for SoWMA for additional backpacks full of school supplies.

Women are active participants in Rotary, serving their communities in increasing numbers and serving in leadership positions in Rotary. The 1989 Council on Legislation vote to admit women into Rotary clubs worldwide remains a watershed moment in the history of Rotary.
“My fellow delegates, I would like to remind you that the world of 1989 is very different to the world of 1905. I sincerely believe that Rotary has to adapt itself to a changing world,” said Frank J. Devlyn, who would go on to become RI president in 2000-01.
The vote followed the decades-long efforts of men and women from all over the Rotary world to allow the admission of women into Rotary clubs, and several close votes at previous Council meetings.
