In 2021, Brookline Rotary coordinated the first town-wide celebration of dogs. It was just at the time we were all craving community and fun after months of isolation and uncertainty. The day, despite being postponed a week due to weather, was nothing but laughs and smiles and a perfect antidote to some tough times. We are again reprising this event on Sunday, October 16, 2022, at Downes Field.
It is with great excitement that we are able to share that BHS Interact President, Delilah Chapman Samstad has been accepted to Li Po Chun United World College of Hong Kong to continue her high school education beginning the fall of 2022. Delilah is the granddaughter of past Brookline Rotary President George Chapman. She will speak to the club on August 4Though we will miss her leadership in Interact, we are excited for Delilah and confident that she takes with her her commitment to the ideals of Rotary and will share them in Hong Kong. Congratulations Delilah!
It is that time of year and Brookline Rotary is once again filling backpacks with school supplies for low income families. This has become one of our joyful Rotary traditions that fills an identified need in our community; one even more needed this year due to rising costs.
Many thanks to everyone who made our recent Auction a success! Sixty-seven businesses and individuals donated 121 items to make it a great and varied shopping opportunity! We were able to feature some really spectacular opportunities like a luxury vacation in Mexico, gallery tickets to the U.S. Open golf tournament in Chestnut Hill in June, a night at the Hotel Commonwealth, as well as gift cards to many local Brookline businesses and restaurants.
