Brookline Rotary DOG DAY

Even though Dog Day was postponed a week, we still had a WONDERFUL celebration of Dogs, of Rotary, and of community fellowship. Many thanks to ALL the wonderful volunteers who made this day possible, and to the Green Dog Program of Brookline whose participation helped to bring so many well-behaved dogs and their owners to the event. Thanks too to all the terrific vendors who brought a breadth of dog activities and products to everyone's attention.

Marathon Monday

As is the tradition at Brookline Rotary, we will once again be hosting a concession stand outside the Courtyard Marriott on Monday, 10/11/21 during the Boston Marathon. Proceeds from the sale of hotdogs, burgers and veggie burgers will go to support the Special Olympics. Stop by and help us to keep these athletes "running". Click here to sign up to volunteer.

Honoring Dr. Jett

At our meeting of September 9 we gathered to honor Dr. Swannie Jett, Director of Health and Human Services in Brookline, presenting him with a Paul Harris Award. This is the highest honor Rotary can confer on a member of our community. It recognizes his service to the community, in line with the ideals of Rotary. Dr. Jett has coordinated Brookline's response to COVID-19 and steered us admirably through these difficult times. His work was cited by Powerful Patient in 2020 as a model for keeping his community safe. See also interview at https://powerfulpatient.org/containing-covid-19/. He will be leaving Brookline to return to his home state and run a community health clinic in Louisville, Kentucky. We are sad to see him go and wish him all the best in his new undertaking.

Great Team!

The last of four Summer Fun events will be held Tuesday afternoon, August 31, at the Egmont Street apartments of the Brookline Housing Authority.
