Sponsorship
- Service: We do direct service activities and conduct events designed to raise funds for scholarships and charitable initiatives, such as:
- Antique & Classic Car Show; Rotary Rising Youth Leadership Award Program and Conference; Pints for Polio (Eradication) at Jack's Abby; Serving dinner monthly at Bristol Lodge Soup Kitchen in Waltham (for >25 years); Distributing saplings to every single 1st grade student in Weston and Wayland on/around Earth Day; Fishing Derbies in Weston and Wayland, the Weston Interact Club 5K Fun Run, and much more.
- Fellowship: Many say that "Rotary runs on Food," and we eat well and meet regularly at the Weston Golf Club. We have special events throughout the year, including our Holiday Party with a hilarious Yankee Swap and gifts for residents at Mary's House Shelter in Waltham, Valentine's Day (so we don't have to figure THAT out!), St. Patrick's Day, our Scholarship Celebration Dinner in June, and LobsterFest in the summer.
- Business: We are expanding our focus on fostering business growth in several ways, most publicly through our increasingly popular monthly Business Networking Breakfast at Mel's Commonwealth Cafe in Wayland. Additionally, we're always working to make connections among local business executives through invitations and introductions.
