Thanks for donating to our Clothing Drive!

Thank you to everyone who donated clothes and textiles during our drives this year!

Over the 6 collections we held YOU kept over a 28,039 pounds of textiles out of the waste stream and helped raise $2800 for Newton Rotary Foundation's Scholarships. So thank you!

We'll probably start up the collections again in the spring, so keep an eye out on our Facebook page, on Instagram, in the press, and of course here!

Clothing Collection Drive - Last for This Year!

Have clothes that don't fit? Too ratty to wear? Just not "you" anymore?
Don't throw them away - recycle them!

Textiles like comforters, blankets, sheets, towels, are also welcome. Even old shoes, handbags, and stuffed toys. You'll keep them out of the waste stream AND help raise money for the Rotary Club of Newton's Scholarships!

All clothing and textiles in any condition are welcome, but please be sure they're clean.

Newton Rotary to Distribute Meals

We're honored to be partnering with the

Newton-Needham Regional Chamber on the new state grant to support our local restaurants while helping our neighbors struggling with food insecurity. Click HERE for a nice article about the program.

Many, many thanks to Senator Cynthia S Creem for securing this much needed funding.

We're looking for volunteers for this important program - email us at RotaryNewtonMa@gmail.com if you're interested!

Holiday Party a Big Success!

Lots of fun was had at our holiday party on January 26th.

Leo Faccenda, a distiller at Olk Elk Distillery in Fort Collins, Colorado (son of president Ron Faccenda), did a great time introducing and walking us through the making of the Maple Lemon RotoCo - a cocktail he created especially for Rotary. Click HERE to watch the video and see how it's done!

An unusual but very fun Yankee Swap ensued, with not a lot of cut-throat swapping but some really fun (and delicious) gifts exchanged.
