Last week we heard from Jim McGrath, Pittsfield's Park, Open Space and Natural Resource Program Manager, who spoke about Springside Park, the 240 acre crown jewel of the City's extensive parks, and home of the Boundless Playground created by Rotary.  

It's June.  We're at the Mazzeo's. 

Each year Rotary Club of Pittsfield recognizes two individuals in the community - a man and a woman - who have made significant contributions to their community through volunteer activities that have created lasting change in the lives of individuals and families in the community, activities that have made our community a better place to live, work and raise a family.  The nominees are not necessarily high profile individuals, but persons who have provided service above self to others.  If you have a person you would like to nominate, contact Kagan Award Committee co-chairs Ed Forfa or Kelly Marion before the May 6 submission deadline.

 

Last week president Kelly congratulated Greg Knight and the 2016 Rotary Golf Tournament committee for another successful tournament that raised funds for local food pantries.

 

The following schedule of Club members has been created to rotate caretaking responsibilities among the membership. The date listed is the Thursday of the week assigned.  We ask that sometime during the week assigned, from the prior Sunday to the following Saturday, that the assigned Rotarian visit the Rotary book house (at the Boundless Playground), to clean out any trash, neaten the inventory, and determine whether additional books need to be acquired.  The first six weeks are assigned as follows:

06/23  Luke Marion

06/30  Phil Massery

07/14  Mark McKenna

07/21  John McLaughlin

07/28  Gail Molari

If you will be unable to fulfill this commitment, please notify Book House overseer Dave Hall (DHall@CWSite.com) who your replacement will be in advance.

06/30 Charlie Wetherell

07/14 Jeff Whitehouse
