THIS WEEK’S MEETING
IS AT THE GERRY 5
The club meeting this Tuesday, July 16th was moved to the Gerry 5 of the Veteran Fireman’s Association, located at 210 Beacon St, Marblehead. The move was caused by the filming in town of Adam Sandler’s “Hubie Halloween” for which our usual meeting venue was leased. We will meet at the Gerry 5 again on August 13th and 27th
WELCOMING A NEW MEMBER
Young Aycock will be inducted this week as a member of the Rotary Club of Marblehead Harbor. Young is the founder or Military United Services Inc. and good friend of Seyla Nehan’s who is sponsoring her. Please come to the meeting to welcome Young and show appreciation for her willingness to put service above self.
