Old Business:
  • July 15th Family Event: We will find out at 10 am if the event is happening. Volunteers are needed.
  • Chester Club: Emma has received some feedback. She will follow up with Chester Rotary to have more information. Decisions do not need to be rushed.

  • Board Directors: Emma is still looking for two directors to serve on the board.
  • Trex Plastics Challenge: We began this project in February.  Five months later: (1) The first bench has been installed at The Common. It is dedicated to the club’s 95th anniversary and Eugene Guy. (2) The second bench has been installed at The Common. It is dedicated to the club’s 95th anniversary and Friends of Springfield Town Library. (3) The third bench has been ordered. (4) We have removed 1799 pounds of plastic film from the waste stream. We are working with: (1) Friends of Springfield Town Library, (2) Union Park Neighborhood Association, and (3) Black River Action Team. Businesses participating in this project include: (1) McGee Chrysler Dodge Jeep Ram of Springfield, (2) Springfield GMC, (3) Springfield Food Co-op, and hopefully coming soon… (4) Vermont Beermakers. The success of the project is putting a strain on the library. We need to solicit help from members to sort the plastic.  Karen will contact Scott Farr to see if the school can be involved. Marty will be presenting the project to the Leominster MA Rotary Club.
  • YMCA Summer Backpack project: Karen reported that the first weeks of the project have been well received.
