Our speaker this week will be long time Executive Director of Interfaith Sanctuary Jodi Peterson-Stigers. If you watch the news or travel State Street, you'll know good progress is being made on their new facility. Jodi will bring us up to date and recount thier frustrating challenges in trying to get this done.

Did you know our club was chartered on August 14, 1985?? During this Rotary year we'll plan a bunch of events to celebrate our 40th anniversary. A committee has been formed and they're busy kicking around ideas using the theme "40" in everything we do. An idea for this fall is a event to make 40 pollinator boxes. Our annual Changing of the Gaurd event next spring will be a special look back at our club's history. Maybe new club polo shirts, logos, etc. 

Sept 20 - Build Pollinator boxes

Sept 25- Party at Barkers with Youth Exchange Students

Sept 26 - JEMfriends Gala

October 3 - Lobsterfest

October 4 - Greenbelt Cleanup
