At our most recent meeting...
...we enjoyed the Classification Talk of one of our newest members Francine Victoria. Francine was born in Haiti, moved to the US when she was six, and is a proud graduate of Brockton High School. She then continued her education and started her family, and shared how she has worked in a lot of different jobs throughout her life. She found her passion working in adult foster care, and then decided to branch out on her own.
In 2016, she founded Rivers of Hope, is a Home Healthcare organization specializing in AFC, GAFC, and Home Healthcare services, and a proud provider of Veterans Care.
Rivers of Hope has grown to serve about 60 families, with 5 staff members, serving Bristol, Norfolk, and Plymouth Counties. In her spare time, Francine enjoys reading, writing poetry, and a quiet moment when the family is out of the house!
Thank you, Francine, for your inspiring Classification Talk, and welcome to Rotary!
Ed had a happy buck for an amazing home run he saw at his granddaughter's softball game.
Jen had a happy buck for the Chamber of Commerce's Annual Meeting, for Cassandra joining her for lunch, and for it being a beautiful day.
George was happy that after a community mulch laying day in Weir Village, he is able to walk today. He added a sad buck for the Baltimore Orioles being swept, breaking a streak of 106 series of not being swept.
Carol Sousa had a happy buck for becoming a great grandmother this September.
Bob had a happy buck for his favorite day of the year recently, Bristol Commencement, and a happy buck that Bristol was honored at the Chamber's Annual Meeting.
Will had a happy buck for his daughter Sarah's upcoming graduation. She is #2 in her class, heading to Providence College in the fall. Congrats, Sarah!
Joe had a buck for Dan LeBrun and asked us to keep him in our thoughts. He had a happy buck for a great visit to Camp Riverside with Dave.
