CLUB WILL PAY 50%
OF AWARDS NIGHT TICKETS
The Board of Directors approved the payment of 50% of the cost of attending the Chamber of Commerce awards dinner on September 19th. Club members will pay only $25.00
Ed Bell, Don Doliber and The Rotary Club of Marblehead Harbor will be honored that night.
Ed was named Person of the Year, Don was distinguished with the Community Service award and our Club was chosen, along with the Marblehead Club, as the Non-Profit Organization of the Year.
It would be important to see RCOMH properly represented at the event, given that it and its members won three of the five awards to be presented.
Also by September 6th, make sure to give Kathleen or the club treasurers your $25 dollar payment – checks should be made payable to RCOMH. She will then get the tickets from the Chamber.
