Dr. Anthony Pope will be our speaker on Thursday, August 5.  As he starts in his job as Marlborough’s new Superintendent of Schools, he should have much to tell us.  Although, in this short time, he will not have made many plans nor even formed many impressions, it is an opportunity for us to get to know him and for him to know us.

This is a “don’t miss” occasion for anyone interested in the future of the Marlborough Public Schools.

See you all for lunch on Thursday!

Are you proud that you are a member of the Marlborough Rotary Club?   Do you believe in the good works of OUR Rotary foundation?

Many of us either forget about it when writing checks for donations or feel the economic pinch that too many of us feel today.  However, we all splurge on a great pair of shoes, a killer set of wheels, or a romantic dinner out – for many reasons, one of which may be pride.

The Rotary license plate makes a donation to OUR Foundation easy while adding an expression of personal pride to your vehicle.  The Registry of Motor Vehicles Special Plate fee is $45 in addition to your regular registration fee.  During the first year, the Rotary Foundation – OUR Foundation – gets a percentage of it.  After the first cycle, OUR Foundation gets the whole $45.

Besides helping OUR Foundation, every donation from our club enhances our club’s ability to gain matching grants from OUR Foundation.

The time to register for a plate is now,  while there are still hundreds of numbers left (101-3100).  Choose a number that means something to you – a birthday, anniversary, business related.  First come, first served.

To reserve your plate, send Joe Toomey jtoomey13@aol.com this basic information:

• Your first name
• Your last name
• Your e-mail address
• Your first and second choice of number

What are you waiting for?
