On January 23, 2012, our club President, Kevin Flanagan challenged each of our dinner tables to collect $75 so that each table could buy a wheelchair for people in Nigeria stricken with polio. Our members more than met his challenge. We raised $1,434. In addition, the Board voted to generously add to that amount. The Club is mailing a check to “Wheels of Hope” for $4,302 for the purchase of 57 new wheelchairs for those in need.To see more of that they do, take a peek at their web site, Wheels of Hope and like them on Facebook. They also have an additional site here.

Please join us for a celebration of the life of Dave Cox on Thursday, August 18th at 4:00 P.M. at the town fountain (at the corner of Main Street and Hebron Avenue). There will be Caribbean type music in a casual setting. A tent will be set up to house a photo collection of Dave and other memorabilia.
Dave was an active member of the Glastonbury Rotary since 1994 and acted as the Club Historian. He used his skills as an architect to contribute to major projects of the Rotary Club as well as other organizations in the local community. Always generous with his time, attention, humor and patience, we will miss this kind man.
