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 Jay Pateakos, Executive Director of the Taunton OECD. This was Jay's Classification talk as he is joining the OECD Corporate Memberships. Jay talked about his background and his role with the City. We heard a lot of exciting things and current challenges, and we look forward to getting to know Jay more in the future. Welcome to Rotary!

Mike C. was happy his son is home for spring break, but sad that he no longer listens to what mom and dad say.
