GOVERNOR’S MESSAGE
Peabody Rotary Club
The Peabody Rotary Club once again sold out of Mile High Apple and Blueberry Pies at the 29th Annual Inter-national Festival in Peabody Square. Approximately 80,000 people walked by the Peabody Rotary Booth, help-ing the club raise over $1,000. In addition to the pies, Entertainment Books were for sale. The main rea-son the club participates, however, is to get those in attendance to learn about Rotary. To that end, the club's brochures were dis-played and distributed.
Just about every club member (and some family members) worked the booth, taking various shifts, from set-up at 9:00 to break-down at 5:00. Pictured above are Brian McHugh, Jeff Doherty, Past President Steve Padul-sky, current President Vanessa Silveira, Megan Shea-Pereira, Event Chair Peggy Lyons and Herb Harris.

T he Marblehead Rotary Club and the Rotary Club of
Marblehead Harbor mem-bers volunteered to clean up our beaches, on Satur-day, October 20th, 2012 from 9 a.m. to 11 a.m.
For more than twenty years, Massachusetts volunteers have scoured beaches, river banks, marshes, and the seafloor to pick up trash and record infor-mation about types of trash being collected. The volun-teers are part of COASTS-WEEP, the Commonwealth's annual coastal cleanup pro-gram, organized by the Massa-chusetts Office of Coastal Zone Management and the Urban Harbors Institute of the University of Massachu-setts, Boston.
Each year more than 2000 COASTSWEEP volunteers collect several tons of trash from beaches, marshes, rivers, ponds and the seafloor.
This year, volunteers in Mar-blehead participated in a COASTSWEEP cleanup at Devereux Beach on Saturday, October 20th from 9:00 a.m. to 11:00 a.m. (rain or shine). This effort was spon-sored by the two local Rotary clubs.
In an effort to make our cleanup more "green", we en-couraged volunteers to bring their own gardening gloves, reusable water bottles, buckets or reusable bags to use to col-lect trash. The organizers pro-vided trash bags and dispos-able gloves for those who
needed them.
The volunteer coordinator was Marblehead Rotary Club President, Chuck Bachner.
For more information about COASTSWEEP, please go to t h e i r w e b s i t e : www.coastsweep.umb.edu or call the Urban Harbor Insti-tute at 617-287-5570.

Greater Salem NH Rotary Club Holds Successful Oktoberfest!
Over 1,000 people came through the doors of Rocking-ham Park as the Greater Salem NH Club kicked off the Oktoberfest season with its 4th annual Oktoberfest Cele-bration on Saturday, September 14th. Aside from tradi-tional German food, beer and fun the event was family friendly as Salem's own Canobie Lake Park held a Kids Zone throughout the day providing games and prizes for all kids in attendance. The highlight of the event fea-tured New England's most popular Oom Pah band, the Oberlaender Hofbrau Band, playing Oktoberfest favorites on the main stage. Thanks to all for making this a great and successful event!

Greater Salem NH Holds Annual 9/11 Remembrance Breakfast
Continuing a tradition, at it's September 14th meeting, the Greater Salem NH Club held its annual 9/11 Re-membrance Breakfast. The Club invites senior mem-bers of local police and fire departments to attend as its guests and schedules a guest speaker to share their thoughts and insights on the events of that tragic date in our Nation's history.
This year the Greater Salem NH Club was extremely honored to be addressed by Ms. Katrina Marino, the widow of FDNY's Kenny Marino. Kenny was a mem-ber of Rescue 1 at the time of the terrorist attacks and as such, was one of the very first responders to the World Trade Center. Every member of Rescue 1 who responded that day perished in the collapse of the Twin Towers. Making Katrina's remarks to the Club that more poignant, as it happens she and her children, aged 1 and 3 at the time, were in Manhattan on 9/11/01 for a doctor's appointment and visited Kenny at the Rescue 1 station less than a half hour prior to the first alarms coming in. A native of Haverhill, MA, Katrina later relocated back to Haverhill with her chil-dren and was very gracious to join us and share her thoughts.
The Club presented Katrina with a bouquet of flowers and also announced a donation in Kenny's memory to the FDNY Foundation.

North Reading Rotar y Club Rotary holds food drive at Stop & Shop The Rotary Club of North Reading held a successful fundraiser at Stop & Shop for the North Reading Food Pantry on October 13 and 14 collecting over 2,000 items from generous North Read-ingites and people from sur-rounding communities.
With many people donating several items and one woman donating a full basket of items, Rotarians and Interact students experienced the true nature of giving. They were moved by the woman who donated the full shopping cart of groceries and other items who said “I’ve been there and I’m so happy to be able to give back.”
Under the direction of Rotar-ian Doug Mercurio (Law Of-fice of Douglas M. Mercurio PC ), North Reading Rotary President Michael Linnane (Linnane Insurance), Chuck Carucci (Commonwealth Oil), Dave O’Neil (Century 21 Spindler & O’Neil), North Reading Chief of Po-lice Mike Murphy, John Nor-ton (NRHS Athletic Office and Cota Funeral Home), Shep Speare, Molly O’Neill (The Savings Bank), Penny Esposito (Lady Di’s Barber Shop), Leigh MacNeil (Good Day Florist) , Priscil la Gottwald (Reading Municipal Light Department), Janice Wood (Winter Hill Bank), Peter Majane (Winter Hill Bank), and Mike Scannell (NORCAM) and NRHS In-teract students Dennis Rollfs,
Tyler Stansbury, Kerri-Ann Donovan, Allie D’Orlando, Julia Crugnale, Rachel Rob-erts, Leanne Trischitta, Wes Waterhouse, Katie Dipietro, Emily Paladino, July Landy, Kiera Sapp, Kristyn Gallant, Nicole Nelson and Merri Mosie were on hand at the Stop & Shop entrances to greet customers and let them know about the solicitation.
On Monday morning, several Rotarians went to the Food Pantry to check the inventory … it was an impressive sight and the shelves are stocked for this week.
Pictured above: North Read-ing Rotarian President Mike Linnane, NRHS Interact stu-dent Nicole Nelson and Ro-tarian Penny Esposito (pictured above) were out in full force over the weekend to collect items for the North Reading Food Pantry at Stop & Shop. Penny provided the “Foodmobile” to transport over 2,000 items to the Food Pantry.
North Reading Rotarians and Interact members were out in
full force over the weekend to collect items for the North Reading Food Pantry at Stop & Shop. Many generous shoppers donated items, in-cluding Michael Smaroff, 5, of Wilmington, who was pleased as punch to hand over his items to Chuck Ca-rucci, while President Mike Linnane and NRHS Interact student and EMARC Liaison Kristyn Gallant share their gratitude.
Pictured above: (l-r) North Reading Rotary President Mike Linnane, Rotarians Penny Esposito, Priscilla Gottwald and Chuck Carucci are overwhelmed by the gen-erosity of North Reading and surrounding community shoppers when they inspect the inventory at North Read-ing Food Pantry. Penny is also a Food Pantry volunteer and transported the merchan-dise in her Foodmobile.
Once the Foodmobile was
unpacked, over 2,000 items were sorted out. Many clients were on hand to see the enor-mous donations from the community.

President's Message from the Haverhill RC Newsletter The Nairator September 26, 2012
The "Duck Regatta" was declared a complete success we (the Haverhill RC members) were finally able to exhale and exchange the anxiety for the antidotes. It was our collective era of "good feeling." We all learned that John Cuneo may be in copyright violation of the “Ever Ready Bunny” because he just keeps on going and going and going. It seems he personally washed the 10,000 ducks before shipping them out. I'll bet he named each one, patted them on the head and said "See you next year." I've heard of Mother Goose, but I think that our Rotary Club is very proud to lay claim to Father Duck. Here's to you John, from all of us!
