This year they included activities such as supporting veterans, taking an active stand to reduce substance use in a community, supporting an international medical mission to benefit children, reducing hunger in their home community, and more. Rotary District Governor David Manzi commended the North Reading Rotarians, “This club truly deserves recognition for taking an active role in its community. This award recognized their efforts to improve the lives of people they know in their neighborhoods as well as people they’ll never meet across the globe. They deserve the recognition and I’m so happy to present them with the District Governor Citation.” Rotary District 7930 supports 47 Rotary Clubs in the Greater Boston and Southern New Hampshire areas. The Rotary Club of North Reading was one of 15 Rotary Clubs in the area to receive the recognition.
