Andover Rotary Night at the Lowell Spinners

Rotarians, friends, and family enjoyed a fun summer evening together at Andover Rotary Night at the Lowell Spinners last Friday. While the Spinners may not have had their best night on the field—they were thoroughly clobbered—we certainly had a great time in the stands!

It was a wonderful opportunity to enjoy baseball, fellowship, and some Rotary fun beyond our Friday morning meetings. The score may not have been in our favor, but the company was!

Look Ma, we did it again!

We’re proud to announce that the Rotary Club of Andover has been recognized with the 2025–2026 Club Excellence Award by Rotary International.

The award recognizes Rotary clubs that create a positive member experience while living out Rotary’s values of service and community impact. This honor reflects the dedication of our members, volunteers, community partners, and supporters who work together to make a difference in Andover and beyond.

Special thanks to 2025–2026 President Ann Ormond for her leadership and commitment throughout the year.

This recognition is a wonderful reflection of what our club accomplishes through service projects, community partnerships, fellowship, fundraising, and a shared commitment to “Service Above Self.”

Congratulations and thank you to all of our members—this award belongs to you!
