As part of a tradition that Rotarian, Past President and Village Bank legend Susan Paley began Newton Rotarians jump in to help serve food at the Lunar New Year festivities. This event is organized by the Newton Housing Authority and this year’s organizer Cipher Sun and team pulled off a great event in honor of the Year of the Snake. Dancing, singing and dragons entertained while Rotarians served trays of delicious food, and we were lucky enough to enjoy a meal while watching dragons as well. Thanks to Rotarians Paul Loiselle, Susan Paley, Michael Woo, Liz Nuss and we had a chance to hang for minute with the mayor. 
The theme this year weas Only When It Is Dark Enough Can You See the Stars, from Dr. King’s final speech. This year’s featured speaker was Myrtle Baptist Church’s Senior Pastor, Reverend Brandon Crowley who mesmerized the entire audience with his message, sincerity and passion. Other speakers include Mayor Ruthanne Fuller, School Superintendent Dr. Anna Nolin, and students from Newton North and Newton South High Schools. Musical performances were had by choir members from the Myrtle Baptist Church, soloist Christina Devon, ZOZA Quartet, and the All City Troubadours.
Newton Rotary had a good presence with volunteers Andy Willinger, David Sellers, Gayemarie Brown, Max Li and I-Ping Li at the actual event. 
Pollock DeMedeiros, Wendy Rousseau, and Liz Tavares.
We have a had a very busy month as usual with great speakers and continued dedication to community including a linen drive for Welcome Home. Welcome Home strives to provide families experiencing hardship with basic household items they need to live with dignity. We are a local nonprofit organization in Newton, Massachusetts, that collects and redistributes like-new household items to hundreds of people in need each month with no fees, no forms and no requirements. Any items that we cannot use are repurposed or recycled appropriately, thus benefiting the environment.
