Raising awareness about the effort to end polio in the world
Marlborough Rotaract with the help of Marlborough Savings Bank and Marlborough Rotary Club helping with the end polio effort

Marlborough Rotaract Club kicked off Purple Pinky Day early today with the help of Marlborough Savings Bank and the Marlborough Rotary club.  The effort to end polio began in 1985 and today we are only three countries away from the successful eradication of this disease.  Today Marlborough Rotaract helped to get 240 vaccinations closer.  Thank you to Caitlin D’Alessio, Christen Caragian, Kaissa Lamore, Matt Ryll and Monthe Kofos for volunteering today.

Marlborough Rotaract meets the 2nd Tuesday each month at Marshall Insurance Agency.  For more information about the effort to end polio visit www.endpolio.org

Massachusetts Alimony Reform Program

by

This week Stephen Hitner, MetroWest Printing and president of Mass Alimony Reform gave the Marlborough Rotary Club an update on the status of alimony reform in Massachusetts.  The bill addresses laws on the Massachusetts books that have not been changed since the 1700’s. 

Through Hitner’s personal story about alimony he began the push to reform the laws and this past week, his efforts paid off with the Massachusetts House passing bill H.3617.
