Editors Note:

Good day my fellow Rotarians. Many of you may have noticed that the Dinghy was missing last week and this one is a little behind. As with most of us life can often get in the way of Rotary. We all have family illnesses and emergencies. This last week was a busy one for ours. That said I love the work I do with Rotary! Fortunately, I was able to keep my commitment to serve at the Hampton Beach Seafood Festival with the Hampton Beach club on Sunday. This was a really fun event and it was a blast getting to know other fellow Rotarians. The Hampton Beach crew is a merry bunch. As we move forward in our Rotary year I encourage all members of our club to participate in our service events. Not just for the DGB clubs benefit but for your own edification. The UNH Football concessions are a perfect opportunity to start!

Best wishes to all. Hopefully seeing you at the next meeting.
