Our most recent meeting was held at Home Plate on April 4. President Joe ran the meeting and we welcomed Visiting Rotarian John B. and well as John D.'s guest Matt Walsh, our speaker Ed Doherty, and his wife, Joanne.
President Joe thanked everyone who was able to attend our recent Interact Dinner--which is always a great night!

How you can help! Fundraising!
Do you know someone looking to promote their business? Or who would benefit from advertising at Family Fun Day?
Use this Sponsorship Ask to start the conversation. If interested, a business can learn more and select their level with the Sponsorship Form. If they are interested, but looking for a smaller commitment, share the Ad Form.
These forms can all be found on our club website, and will continue to be linked in this space through the event! Please keep Dave in the loop as you secure sponsors and ads. And be sure to reach out with any questions. Our fundraising goal is only possible if everyone is a part of the process!
At our most recent meeting...
...we welcomed Ed Doherty as our speaker. A former Clerk Magistrate, Ed helped start jury court in Attleboro. Since he has retired from the courts, he started writing for magazines and other publications and has published a couple of books. Ed entertained us with some humorous stories from his books. He also shared that a portion of sales goes to a Jane Doe group to help battered women. We enjoyed hearing Ed's presentation and thank him for joining us!
John B. had a happy buck to be at the meeting and a happy buck for the Celtics.
Mike C. had a happy buck for making today's meeting and a sad buck to be missing the next few.
Dave C. had a sad buck that his son's season ended with a heartbreaking 5-4 OT loss even though he scored 54 goals this year! Dave was also happy that hockey season is over!
George had a happy buck because he thought we would struggle through the God Bless America but Johnny B pulled us through.
Dick had a sad buck that Kentucky lost in the first round of March Madness and a happy buck that the Women's' Tournament has been excellent to watch.
John D was happy to be here and happy to have Matt join him for lunch.
Joe had a happy buck because he was glad everyone showed up.
