What a weekend for the Andover Rotary Club and the Andover Chamber of Commerce – a record-breaking Andover Day highlighting what a great community we live, work, provide service and play in. Thanks to the Rotary volunteers who started the day with tent set up at 4 AM and then continued your good work throughout the day through breakdown, What an epic day! Thank you all.
We also want to send continued healing thoughts and prayers to our friend David Lindsay who is on the road to recovery. Continue to send him good thoughts. I will have get well cards this Friday for all of us to sign so make sure that you join us this Friday at 7:30 AM at the Lanam Club.
Finally, mark your calendars for the “First Friday Sock” challenge on Friday, October 3rd. Take a page out of Jim Greeley and Phil Czarnec’s play book and get your “socks on!” We will ask our server Amanda to judge the October sock challenge and announce a winner! I am going sock shopping this weekend.
Here’s to the best Rotary Club around! Cheers!

Our newest
Paul Harris Plus One
Congratulations to Public Image Chair, Diana Kiesel, for receiving her Paul Harris "plus one".
What is a "plus one"?
When one receives their first Paul Harris Fellow recognition from Rotary International, it honors their contribution to Rotary’s mission of service and peace. If they continue to support Rotary and earn additional recognitions, each one is marked with a “+” followed by the number of additional contributions. So a “Paul Harris +1” means they’ve received this honor twice — once initially, and once again for continued generosity and commitment.
Next Board Meeting
Tuesday, October 21st
