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.  In true Rotary fashion, our Rotarian, Kim Kushner, kicked into high gear and worked with the board and club members to fulfill this community need.  On short notice, we were able to provide 4 outfits, a bathing suit, hat, beachtowel and tote bag for 21 students!  Our contact sent a lovely thank you informing us that the students started wearing their new outfits immediately with giant smiles on their faces and positive responses like:  "This one is my favorite!" She was so excited!  and  “ I never had a beach towel before!”Thanks to all our members who donated to this impactful project.

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.   
 
Once more Brookline Rotary brought their A-game to this quintessential Boston event.  Several buyers of our food, told us they stop by every year for their annual hot dog.  This is a fun, noisy and impactful tradition of the club that has for decades benefitted Special Olympics in Massachusetts and in recent years our own Special Olympic teams here in Brookline.
 
It takes a village and thanks to all our volunteers!
 
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
A little known fact, Rotary International holds one of two non-voting seats in the United Nations and since our beginning we have aligned ourselves with the mission of the UN.  One of Rotary's  eight areas of focus has always been conflict resolution.
 
In these times of turbulence it is reassuring for all of us to hear about positive forces at work.  
 
Please join us on March 27th for an exciting and uplifting discussion on what Rotary is doing for conflict resolution that can be applied to our communities as well as our global stage.  The evening is open to the public and all Rotarians, but we ask that you pre-register by clicking on the March 27 meeting listed on the front page of our website.
