What's Happening at Rotary Club of Concord
Personal Care Drive for Open Table
Donate Personal Care Items for Open Table Food Pantry in Maynard
 
For a third year, the Rotary Club of Concord is spearheading a donation drive for personal care items for Open Table. The Drive will run from now until the end of March. The following items are not covered by SNAP/food support programs so Open Table must purchase them for the individuals and families they serve. This year federal cuts have made the NEED even greater.
 
Priority Items:
  • Diaper Sizes: 4, 5, 6
  • Baby Wipes
  • Toothpaste
  • Shampoo 
 We will be collecting items Saturday March 28th from 10:30 -2:00 at Crosby's Market Sudbury Rd Concord

Concord Tree Lighting
On Sunday, December 7th, our club participated in Concord's Annual Tree Lighting festivities. We set up our Rotary tent and provided toppings for the hot chocolate that Dunkin served up, with whipped cream, marshmallows, sprinkles and peppermint free for the asking! The atmosphere was cheerful as people waited for the arrival of Santa on a fire truck. There were lots of fun things happening, with refreshments and entertainment, including carolers! The finale was the tree lighting at the circle in the center of town.
 
Did you know that The Rotary Club of Concord donated that tree when the old one had to be replaced?      
 
Rotarians Richard Warren, Jeanne Armocida, Hilary Taylor and Heather Robertson had fun topping off the hot chocolate!
 
3rd Annual Habitat Build Day
On Thursday, October 23, many of our club members volunteered at Habitat for Humanity's latest Concord building project. The weather was perfect and our club enjoyed the hard work and camaraderie. We had a morning crew and an afternoon crew with a noon time break so we could all have a home-cooked lunch (provided by a Rotarian) together. 
 
This is the third year we have participated in memory of June Grace, a much loved member of our club who was a huge supporter of Habitat.

Gaining Ground
On September 25th Concord Rotarians volunteered their time to help out at Gaining Ground. Jeanne Armocida, Sharon Spaulding and Ann Trudeau worked hard pulling out tomato plants, and planting spinach. They didn't let the rainy weather slow them down! Gaining Ground, a nonprofit organic farm in Concord, Massachusetts, grows vegetables and fruit with the help of several thousand community volunteers and donates all of this fresh food to area meal programs and food pantries.
 
The Rotary Club of Concord has volunteered for years, supporting Gaining Ground's mission to combat food insecurity in Massachusetts.
 
 
In Memory of Dave Robertson
Our club lost an exemplary Rotarian and a true friend, Dave Robertson.  Always ready to jump in to help, we knew we could depend on Dave to support every Rotary service project with enthusiasm and hard work.  Dave was often seen cooking and preparing meals for Bristol Lodge, BBQing for seniors at COA, and grilling for Minute Man Marchers. He volunteered with Open Table, Concord’s 250th Parade, Music Fest, and the Annual Golf Tournament, often with his family joining in as well.
 
Dave was also a huge supporter of the Boys & Girls Club of Assabet Valley, leading field days and a Pinewood Derby, and to honor his memory a Summer Camp Scholarship has been established in his name.
