Guest Speaker

Joan, President Ayer Rotary Club

Joan joined us to talk about her Club's biggest fundraiser of the year, the Ducky Wucky Race. They typically raise $10-14K annually, but with sales down this year due to the coronavirus, they are getting creative to help increase interest. They are donating 60% of funds raised by non-profits, back to that organization. This is a great opportunity for Rotary Clubs like ours to help out another local Club, and benefit our Club as well. It's truly a win-win.
The race itself has been postponed tentatively to August, and ticket sales will be cut off about a week before the event. Tickets are $5 each, 5 for $20, or 13 for $40. With the grand prize being dinner for 2 ANYWHERE IN THE WORLD, airfare and hotel included, it should be an easy sale.

Flower Box Project

Done but for the signage! Huge thanks to Johnny for taking the lead, and to everyone who turned out to help plant these beautiful flowers and plants. They are appropriate for the location and amount of sun received, and will add beauty to the downtown Leominster area for months to come.
