Why do you belong to Rotary? What can be done to improve meeting attendance? How can Hanover Rotary be organized to better serve you? These are some of the question we'll be discussing at this week's meeting. PLEASE ATTEND! As always, it's at Jesse's noon on Wednesday. 

 

 

October 1: Rotary's second annual Stuff-a-Truck to benefit Cover Home Repair & the Cover Store. We are looking for contributions of power and hand tools. .

 

November 17: Our annual Gala and Auction! This is our flagship fundraising event, the place where we raise money for the many Upper Valley charities we support. The emphasis at the moment is finding things to auction. Here's the website. Contact Bruce Atwood if you have a vendor you want to approach for a donation (we don't want multiple people contacting the same vendors).

 

December: Bell-Ringing to support Listen's fuel assistance program.

 

 

Every week we need people to greet and collect money at our meetings. Sign up here:
