Rotarians, family, and friends celebrate the 4th by handing out flags during the Colchester, Vermont Fourth of July parade.
Colchester Milton Rotary Club welcomes the co-presidents for 2025-26, Al Getler of South Hero and John Abry of Colchester. John and Al have plans to reach into Rotary’s roots and invite business leaders to join the club to help it grow in membership. “We are particularly interested in showing young leaders that Rotary helps develop them in ways unimagined,” said co-president Abry. Come join the club!
Thank you and congratulations to co-Presidents Janet Stecklare and Chuck Ginsberg on a great year in Rotary as our leaders. Pictured are Al Getler, John Abry, Chuck Ginsberg, Janet Stecklare, and past-President Chris Pingert.
Janet Stecklare presented Emma Litchfield with the Colchester-Milton Rotary Scholarship at the Awards Ceremony held at Colchester High School on Friday, June 13th. Emma's dedication to serving others as president of the Colchester Cares Club, her recent certification as an EMT, and her ongoing support for the Unified sports basketball team make her a very deserving recipient of this honor.
The Burlington Rotary Club hosted their annual Spelling Bee on Thursday, May 22nd, and our team of Kevin, Nancy, and Betty came in first, out-spelling the 4 other Rotary teams, then winning the finals in a lightning round! The trophy was awarded by Mary Cenci, host of "Mike and Mary in the Morning" on radio station 92.9, who was the Master of Ceremonies. It was a fun event for all! Special thanks to our members who participated and those who came to cheer our team on. Congratulations, Super Spellers!!

The Colchester-Milton Rotary Needs You This May!
Times are tough, and for many local families, putting food on the table has never been harder.
This May, we're calling on you to help us Fill The Truck For The Food Shelf — and fill hearts with hope.
Here’s the reality:
Food prices are skyrocketing.
Our local food shelves are seeing record numbers of families asking for help.
The need isn’t just big — it’s urgent.
You can make a real difference. Right now.
🌟 We’re collecting non-perishable food items and monetary donations all month long.
🌟 100% of every donation goes directly to:
The Colchester Community Food Shelf
The Milton Family Community Center
The Champlain Islands Food Shelf
Together, we can make sure no family in our community faces an empty pantry in 2025.
🛒 Bring your donations. Spread the word. Fill the truck. Change lives.
Because no one should go hungry—not on our watch.
The Colchester-Milton Rotary is committed to strengthening our community and helping to meet hospital and patient needs through blood donations. We urge community members to donate blood and help ensure that patients in local hospitals have a supply of blood ready and waiting before an emergency occurs. There’s no better feeling than knowing that your blood donation may give someone a second chance at life!
