Birthday Table Friday
The monthly Birthday Table this Friday will honor our members who have celebrated birthdays in April or will celebrate one in May.
Walter Mulligan, 1st President, Rotary Club of Springfield, 1915
105 people have registered for this year's milestone event, with more responses coming in daily.
All interested people are welcome to attend. Given the historic nature of our Club reaching its Centennial, the invitation list included friends, past members, members of surrounding Clubs and our Rotary District 7890 as well as other Rotary VIPs. Current, past and honorary Rotarians are responding in number, making the guest list resemble a "Rotary Reunion." Tickets are $50, available at:
BY MAIL: "Rotary Club of Springfield, PO Box 1033, Springfield, MA 01101,
BY PHONE: Call Club President Rick Lee at (413) 535-6718.
Please Note:Tickets purchased after Saturday, May 16, 2015 will be held for pick-up at the registration table on the evening of the event on Wednesday, May 20th.
Plans for the evening call for good food, drink and company in the beautiful setting of the nearly 100-year-old Colony Club, a steady supply of memories in the form of pictures from the Club's past, and video interviews recently recorded at WGBY- Public Television, some of which aired recently on the local program "Connecting Point."
Rotary in Springfield may be 100 years old, but the same month we celebrate the Club's Centennial one of its pillars, Jim Russell reaches the 50 year mark of service to the community through the Rotary Club of Springfield. Congratulations Jim!
Springfield Rotarian Sujing Yang and Hampden County Sheriff Michael Ashe will receive Paul Harris Fellow Awards at the 100th Anniversary Celebration of Service of the Rotary Club of Springfield on May 20th at the Colony Club in downtown Springfield.
Our Club will also award ten $1,000 grants to small local charities and three Rotary Youth Leadership (RYLA) scholarships to an all-day Rotary leadership training for you people set fot Springfield College in June of this year. Approximately 150 Rotarians and community leaders are expected to attend the cocktail and hors d'ouevres event to be held from 5:30 to 7:30 PM. Tickets are $50 and proceeds will benefit future Rotary Service grants and work in the community.
