Rotary Club of Stoneham Hosts the Stoneham Front Steps Project

Stoneham, MA –There's still time for you to have a professional photographer visit your front stairs/porch and at a safe distance, photograph you during this stay-at-home period. Photos may include members of your family, you and your pets, your graduates in their caps and gowns, your prom-goers in their prom attire and your kids being happy, silly or just plain cute. You could also request a photo for someone you know or love as a surprise gift!

The Front Steps Project brings the Stoneham residents together to recognize this unprecedented time in our lives as we socially distance from our friends and family and to raise money for Covid-19 relief efforts in Stoneham. The project is sponsored by the Rotary Club of Stoneham in partnership with The Presti Group.

Rotary President Adam Rodgers explains that the “Rotary Club of Stoneham is focused on how we can support all aspects of our community during a time when we cannot meet in person as a club or work on service projects as a group. This I s a fun way to not only provide everyone with a nice opportunity but also raise some needed funds to support the non-profit agencies in Stoneham that are supporting our families and friends.”

Details about the project can be found either on the Rotary Club of Stoneham Facebook Page or at the Rotary’s website - https://stonehamrotaryclub.org - with links to sign up. While the there is no cost for the program, the Club asks that you donate an amount of your choice. In return, you will receive three (3) digital photographs which you may use on social media or as you choose. The pictures will also be posted on the Stoneham Front Steps Project and Stoneham Rotary Facebook pages. Additional prints can be ordered directly from the photographer. When you donate, you can choose from a number of local non-profits to receive 100% of your donation.

Marie Presti, principal of The Presti Group, organized the project and is handling all the details, including setting up appointments. Dawn Diorio of Dawn Diorio Photography is donating her time as the photographer for the project.
