The Rotary Club of Andover is on the move. We have so much going on and some days it's hard to keep track of all the good things we are doing. 
 
Thanks to so many who are working on our largest fundraiser, Citizens Who Care coming up on May 14th. If you can please consider 🔗 sponsoring, buying an ad in the program book and purchasing your tickets soon it would help us ensure that we reach our goal! Thanks in advance for your support and willingness to do good. 
 
Shout out to the fabulous scholarship committee for their hard work as they gear up to select our scholarship recipients. 
 
🎉 Bravo to all of our loyal volunteers in the community helping
so many people! 
 
Continued prayers and positive thoughts to Lois McGinness, Paul Mercandetti and Sheryl Meehan🙏 
 
Have a great week and I look forward to seeing you on Friday!

Club Leaders Participate in District Membership Seminar
 
Several of our club’s leaders took part in the Rotary District 7930 Virtual Membership Seminar on Saturday, joining fellow Rotarians from across the district for a collaborative and informative session focused on strengthening club engagement and growth.
 
We extend our appreciation to Al R., Ken, Gail, Jean, and President Ann for representing our club and investing their time in this important program. Their participation reflects a strong commitment to continuous learning and to bringing new ideas back to benefit our membership.
 
A special highlight of the seminar was President Ann’s opportunity to share some of our club’s successful approaches to membership growth—an accomplishment that showcased the positive momentum within our organization.
 
Their leadership and dedication continue to help shape a more dynamic and thriving club.

Grateful Hearts and Helping Hands at Good Shepherd Soup Kitchen
A heartfelt thank you to our dedicated volunteers who gave their time on Thursday to serve lunch at Lazarus House Ministries’ Good Shepherd Soup Kitchen.
Whether ladling out warm, nourishing meals or offering kind words and welcoming smiles, this wonderful group brought comfort and dignity to those who needed it most. Their compassion and energy truly made a meaningful impact on our neighbors facing hardship.
Pictured (LtoR): Rotarian Sue Big, Sylvia Rainville, Joe Bonannoa steadfast volunteer who joins us so regularly that we proudly consider him part of the Rotary family — and Rotarian Rich Rainville.
Your commitment, hard work, and generous spirit beautifully reflect Rotary’s guiding principle of “Service Above Self.” Thank you for making a real difference in our community.

If you or someone you know is looking for a part-time position assisting at the Front Desk at the Lazarus House, contact Rich Rainville.
