Can You Help?
President Ken is looking for a few good Rotarians to step up and serve.
We need:
Door greeters for our weekly breakfast meetings
Members for the District Grants Committee
Members for the Global Grants Committee
If you’re interested in any of these roles, please reach out to Ken. Your time and energy make a real difference—thank you for considering it!
Rotarian Karla Rossi may be the 2026 Mass ALA Executive Director of the Year, but in our eyes she, Executive Chef Victor Casado, and the entire Stone Hill team are the Hosts of the Year. From the incredible food—those burgers, the taco bar, the salads, the desserts… we could go on—to the warm hospitality and beautiful setting, everything was perfect.
Thank you for making us feel so welcome and for putting on such a memorable night. For our friends who could not make it this evening, you were missed!
Congratulations Karla on this amazing accomplishment!
THANK
❤️
YOU
