The Rotary Club of Weston & Wayland participated this past Saturday for Earth Day at Land’s Sake. It was a perfect weather day and we had two tables explaining our Sears Field Conservation Project while giving away Sunflower Seeds to support Ukraine and entertaining the kids with a game of corn hole.
Elizabeth Messina’s activity for the kids taught them how to germinate and plant their sunflowers. 
Katya Portnaya donated the corn hole game to the delight of the crowd. Jeanne Richardson’s friend Cheryl is getting to be a “regular” volunteer and we are so pleased that she has joined us on several occasions! 
And making what I think to be his first Rotary appearance, Joy’s beautiful Golden Retriever Apollo was there as our mascot. A big thank you to everyone for your support!
The Weston-Wayland Rotary Club is proud to induct a new member, James Brasco! James is following in the footsteps of his parents Mike & Kate Brasco who were also Rotarians. James was proposed by current member, Robert Blackburn. We look forward to helping James uphold a family tradition of helping others.
Donations for our fundraiser will be made through the Rotary District 7910 Charity Fund.
This is a 501C3 donation mechanism that has been put in place by RD7910 to facilitate TAX DEDUCTIBLE donations for Rotary Clubs. Money donated to this fund can be via personal checks, non-profit organizations, community service trusts, charitable trusts, etc.
How to donate:
After donations are received from individuals, an IRS-approved 501C3 letter will be sent to the donor. Letter may take 4-6 weeks to process.
Thank you for your support and generosity.
23 Rotarians and friends spent Thursday evening volunteering at Community Servings in Jamaica Plain. If you missed this opportunity, you will have another chance to join in this rewarding experience of humble service, as we intend to volunteer as a group again, possibly on a regular basis.

"Our mission is to actively engage the community to provide medically tailored, nutritious, scratch-made meals to chronically and critically ill individuals and their families.

Adoption is challenging work. We have adopted the Sears Field in Weston and we are reclaiming it for the pollinating insects. All are invited to clear these invasive plants so that in year three of our five year project we can begin to plant the plants that are good for the pollinators.
Join us this Spring to work hard, release some energy on the invasive plants, have a good time, good conversation and good refreshments. Navigate to 27 Crescent Street and park at the Melone Homestead.
