Help Desperately Needed
Our biggest event the Reading Fall Street Faire is this Sunday, September 8.  We are short of volunteers, especially in the Children's Area.  Please reach out to friends and family to help if they can.  It takes so many to make this event run.
 
Here's the volunteer sign up link.  We really need our members and friends to turn out on Sunday.
 
See you all at the Faire!
Member Profile:  Amy Walsh
This Member Spotlight is on Amy Walsh.  Amy is Branch Manager for The Savings Bank in North Reading.  Amy first joined Rotary as a member of the North Reading Club and joined Reading Rotary in 2022.
 
How long have you been in Rotary: 6 Years
 
Rotary positions held:  I was a member of the North Reading Rotary and was then the President of the North Reading Rotary. North Reading Rotary merged into the Reading Rotary and I became a Board Member. I am now President Elect for the next Rotary year.  This means I am in line to serve as President of Reading Rotary after Phil Stewart, the current President.
 
Reason you joined Rotary:  I joined Rotary because I saw other co-workers in other clubs and wanted to see what it was all about.
 
Favorite things about Rotary:  I love getting to know other people in the community by volunteering and doing community activities.
 
Why should someone join Rotary:  If you like to volunteer this is a great first step to take. There are so many different opportunities to go after. There are small behind the scenes tasks and greater opportunities.
 
What is something people may be surprised to learn about you?  I was named Miss FSC (Framingham State College) 2003 in my College’s Talent Pageant.  I played the College Hymn on the violin.
 
Share something special about your Rotary journey/experience.  I am a very quiet and to myself person and this Club has allowed me to share my talents and come out of my shadow.
 
You can find Amy at the North Reading branch of The Savings Bank – www.tsbdirect.bank.  The Savings Bank also can be found on Instagram and Facebook.
 
New Evening Meeting Location
Our next meeting will be September 16 at 6 pm at Austin Prep.  RCTV is moving from their space and Austin was gracious enough to offer to host us.  Thanks to our Austin members Lisa Simmons, Sue Belanger and Dr. Jim Hickey for welcoming us.
 
We will have a speaker Autumn Hotaling on Walk to End Alzheimer's.  Looking forward to seeing everyone there.
 
We will not meet on September 9 due because of the Reading Fall Street Faire on September 8.  Lunch meeting location is not changing.
