Spring is here, and with it comes exciting things for our Club! A huge thank you to everyone who participated in the March visioning session and especially Paula for setting it all up—your insights will create an inspiring path forward. This past month, we also completed interviews and made final selections for the 2025 RYLA program, and we can't wait to see this next group of young leaders in action. Looking ahead, we’re excited for our evening meeting at Tashan this week—I hope to see many of you there! And after months of dedication, the Meals of Hope event is finally here. A special shoutout to Debi and the incredible team who have worked tirelessly to make this the best meal-packing event yet. Let’s keep up the great work and make April a month of impact! 

Evening Meeting -- April 1 - no joke!

Thanks to new member Pam Brown for coordinating this month's evening meeting. We will be going to Tashan, 213 Burlington Rd in Bedford. 

Pre-registration is required so we can provide the restaurant with a head count. If you have difficulty registering please email Paula or Pam.

 
 
 
 
Lots of opportunities to get involved and help out coming up in the next few months. Please keep an eye on the Calendar: https://bedfordmarotary.org/events/calendar
