We are just a few weeks out from our annual Bedford Day food booth fundraiser. Bedford Day is Saturday, September 21st this year. Similar to last year, we'll be selling pizza from 10am - 2pm and we need YOUR help to be successful.There are plenty of opportunities ranging from 1-2 hours, so even if you can only stay for a short time, hopefully there's something that works for everyone. The underlined links below take you to the Sign Up Genius page with available slots.
If you are able to help with set up, tear down, selling pizza or picking up food and supplies, please sign up for the Food booth.
If you would prefer to spend your time sharing the virtues of joining or supporting our club, please sign up for the Information booth.
Please sign up by September 15 so we have enough time to fill any gaps we might have.
Congratulations to us! We were notified by Rotary International that our club has earned the Rotary Citation, the most significant award a Rotary club can achieve, for 2023-24. This past year, our club demonstrated a commitment to achieving its goals, which ultimately helps strengthen Rotary and shape our future.
Melinda Gladden, a long-time former member, has returned to the Rotary Club of Bedford.
Our story starts on April 19, 1775 with the battle of Concord. And meanders through the centuries until July 23, 2024.
Friday morning (July 28th) a band of weed warriors took to the pollinator garden to clean up the area and to remove any plants that were growing where they weren't supposed to be. Weeding is pretty straightforward as we have flags placed wherever a plant is supposed to be. This handy method allowed even the most novice gardeners to feel confident in what they were doing!
The District 7910 Rotary Youth Leadership Awards (RYLA) took place at Fitchburg State University from June 21-23. Our club was well represented by ten talented sophomores from Bedford High School, as well as two returning participants from last year's cohort who served as Group Facilitators. Despite the hot and rainy weather, RYLAns honed their leadership skills and created lasting bonds thanks to the expert planning and guidance of District RYLA Coordinator Christine Pinney. Engaging 200 teens year after year is a huge effort that Christine makes look easy! Many Bedford Rotarians volunteered over the course of the weekend to include Tom Pinney, Katie Pinney, Presidents Al & Ralph, Victor Tom, Sze-Wen Kuo, Dawn Kociubes, Diane Ryan, and Karen Sun. We are grateful to everyone who helped support this transformational event, making it the BEST RYLA EVER!.png)
