UNSUNG HEROES NOMINATIONS
Do you know someone in the community who is unusually dedicated to serving others? The Rotary Foundation invited Clubs to nominate an “Unsung Hero”, who in the view of the club wakes up “every morning and puts others before themselves, dedicating their lives to helping others in need, truly embodying Service Above Self.
Clubs will be asked to contribute points for their nominated hero.
Please give your nominations to Kathleen by e-mail or at the next club meeting. Nominations must be presented to the District next week, so please hurry.
FOUNDATION DINNER – NOV 7th
The Unsung Heroes will be recognized at the District’s Paul Harris Foundation Dinner, with a special guest in attendance, Massachusetts First Lady Lauren Baker.

HOW TO PLAN FOR THE REST OF YOUR LIFE
Our own Heidi Whear will be featured as 3 Voices takes up the discussion of how seniors and their families face many decisions as life moves on. Should I continue to live where I live now? What are my options? What conversations do I need to have and with whom? 3 Voices has invited experienced professionals to delve into that decision process over the course of three programs scheduled for:
– Sunday, Oct. 20
– Sunday, Nov. 3
– Sunday, Nov. 17
All sessions held at 2 p.m. at the Masonic Hall, 62 Pleasant St., Marblehead.
