Pints for Polio

Members of the Rotary Clubs of Weston & Wayland, Waltham, Billerica, and Needham came together for a fun evening and raising funds for Rotary's End Polio Now campaign.

On October 24, World Polio Day, Rotary members and friends gathered at Craft Food Hall to raise money to end Polio. It was a massive success!

We raised a grand total of $2,570 for the End Polio Now fund. Thanks to the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation's 2:1 matching, all contributions will go directly to the Rotary Foundation and have an even more significant impact.

RYLA Nominations For Sophomores

**Rotary Youth Leadership Award Recognizes Sophomores**

Do you know a sophomore who is actively involved in community service? We need your help to nominate them for recognition by the Rotary Club of Weston & Wayland's Rotary Youth Leadership Award.

For the eighth year, the Rotary Club of Weston and Wayland will recognize sophomores who are committed to “service above self,” focusing on leadership and community service. Please assist us in finding deserving sophomores by completing a brief 5-minute nomination form and sharing it with parents, teachers, and students you know.

For more information on the RYLA program, please visit our webpage. Anyone—faculty members, parents, students, or community members (coaches, advisors)—can nominate any student who lives or studies in Weston or Wayland. The first round of nominations will close on Monday, November 11, and we will celebrate the selected sophomores on Thursday, December 5th.

Volunteer for Sears Field: Two Ways to Help!

Posted by Jeanne Richardson

Sunday October 20, 2024

On October 20, the Conservation Team will host a Work Day at Sears Field in Weston, MA. Over the past few years, we’ve focused on removing invasive plants, and this year, we’re taking an exciting new step: planting native plants to support pollinators! We’ll also plant daffodils along a planned path to add a beautiful touch to the landscape.

Location: 27 Crescent St, Weston.

How you can help:

Join us at the field! Bring a friend or family member and join us for a few hours of community work. We’ll start at 9 AM with coffee and breakfast and plan to wrap up around noon. You’re welcome to work for as long or as little as you like—every bit helps! Many hands make light work.
Donate native plants! If you can’t make it to the field, consider donating native plants for the project. Great sources include Native Plant Trust (Garden in the Woods) in Framingham and Blue Stem Natives in Norwell.

For suggestions, feel free to email Charlie at charlie1288@gmail.com.

We ask that you help to plant what you bring.

Don’t forget to bring shovels, gloves, and bug spray!
