Last Week's Speaker

Our Rotary Year ends in July, but Past President Joe had one more thing to take care of to close out his term as President. One of the best days of the year is when the Club is able to donate the money raised throughout the year back into the community. At our most recent meeting the Rotary Club of Taunton made donations to Old Colony YMCA - Taunton, Associates for Human Services, Inc., Boys & Girls Clubs of Metro South - Taunton Clubhouse, Old Colony History Museum, Narragansett Council, Boy Scouts of America, PRIDE Inc., Pro Home Inc., and the Taunton Public Schools.
Congrats for the work you do in Greater Taunton!
