Thank You for Celebrating Susan Rack with Us
We're delighted to share that our event honoring longtime Rotarian Susan Rack raised over $18,000!  As intended, 100% of the net event proceeds will support the ongoing service work of the Brookline Rotary Club – locally and globally.
 

These funds will help advance initiatives that reflect Susan's enduring commitment to community, collaboration, and service –  hallmarks of her Rotary legacy.  We are deeply grateful to everyone who contributed and celebrated with us.  Your generosity ensures that our impact will continue to grow in the spirit of “Service Above Self.”

Highlights & Stories ~ updated regularly

Last month, a Brookline educator approached one of our members with a rquest for help.  Several local students going to Brookline summer day camp were in need of clothing assistance.

It was a grand day!  The weather was absolutely perfect, the band was lively, the runners plentiful, the spectators boisterous, and the burgers and dogs delicious.
Please join us for a Brookline Rotary tradition as we host a concession stand at the intersection of Webster Street and Beacon Street for the Boston Marathon.  This is one of our most fun events all year as we cheer runners, grill hot dogs and hamburgers and celebrate with friends and soon to be friends this quintessential Boston event.  All net proceeds go to support Brookline and MA Special Olympians.  So sign up to staff the concession, wear your Rotarians at Work shirt and bring your cow bells and clackers.  We provide the aprons!  Family and friends are welcome
