 Despite the rain, we held a successful Rotary Day of Service on Saturday (May 18th) at our native pollinator preservation garden in Page Field. The hardy group that came out helped weed (and there were lots!) and mulch the area. We were not sure if everything survived the winter but a number of plants did and seem to be thriving. Keep an eye on the garden to see what else will pop up! The good news is that we will have a planting day in the fall to expand the garden. We'll also need help with weeding during the summer so stay tuned for those days. Shout out to club members Judi, Pam, Marc, Ralph, Katie, Debi and Paula for all their work and a big thank you to our new friends Jane and Al, Renee and Freddie whose help was invaluable!

It all happened in just a couple of hours at the Mudge Way parking lot across from the Police Station.
eople of Bedford, Rotarian Arzu LeBlanc took the lead and collaboratively coordinated this year’s Bike Safety Day participation by Bedford Police Department Sergeant Robert Abajian and Officer Justin Brooks, Bedford Recreation Department Assistant Director Nikki Taylor, Jane Kiegel, her colleague at The Residence at Bedford, along with Rotary Club of Bedford Co-Presidents Al Roscoe and Ralph Hammond, and Rotary volunteers Judi Babcock, Paula Gilarde, Lita Verrier and Marc Hamilton.
