Our meetings are hybrid! Contact us for the Zoom link. Please check our website to verify the meeting location and time (we occasionally have evening meetings or meetings in other locations).
September brings us back together as a club for our meetings and the start of our calendar of events. We have our 3 meetings a month. We have Bedford Day, Trunk or Treat, Election Day collection for MCC Food Pantry, Winter Holiday Breakfast and much more. There are many opportunities to be involved, have fun, do good, and spend time with each other.
In May we celebrated the 70th anniversary of the founding of this great club. It has done so many amazing things locally and internationally. But it is not the good we do that makes this club special. It is its members. It is all of you. We enjoy each other's company. We laugh. We play games. And we do some good along the way.
Please find ways to help keep our club vibrant and viable. Show up. Participate. Take a role in the club. Others want to see you, work with you and just spend time with you.
This month, one of our own is taking Rotary's mission of service well beyond Bedford's borders. Lita Verrier, President-Elect, along with Susan Tordella, President-Elect of the Rotary Club of Littleton, have embarked on a journey to Ghana, Benin, and Togo alongside fellow Rotarians to support hands-on projects making a real difference in the region.
Their trip centers on two impactful initiatives:
Education access – supporting K-8 schools through Volta Vision for Education, an effort dedicated to expanding educational opportunities for children in the area.
Emergency health access – advancing the ambulance tricycle project, known as Moving Health, which is led by Victor Tom and works to bring critical medical transport to communities that need it most.
Read on to see photos that Lita shared from the first day of her trip!
On a recent Saturday morning, Rotary Club members met for their annual cleanup service project at Bedford’s 9/11 Memorial. With this being the 25th year since the terrorist attacks on America, the work was of greater significance.
The 9/11 Memorial’s ongoing stewardship is shared by the Rotary Club of Bedford and Bedford’s Department of Public Works. Rotarians wielding rakes and clippers, and lugging brush, included Tom Pinney (Club President), Diana Jarvis, Victor Tom, Sze-Wen Kuo, Christine Pinney, Katherine Pinney, Paula Gilarde, and Marc Hamilton.
Now that Fall has arrived, we are settling into our schedule for remainder of the Rotary year (ending June 30, 2027). We will have three regular meetings a month:
the first Tuesday, at 12:30pm at First Church, 25 The Great Rd
the second Tuesday, at 6pm at Upper Fellowship Hall at First Church (unless otherwise noted)
the third Tuesday, at 12:30pm at The Residence, 240 South Rd.
We will be resuming the Community Dinners on the 4th Wednesday of the month, and there will be no meeting the week there is a Community Dinner. Please reach out with any questions.
