Thanks to all who made our Operation Flags For Heroes Veterans Day Celebration a great success and thanks to all Heroes for your service.
For those who weren't able to attend here's the video (below) thanks to Lake Champlain Access Television.
Please join the Colchester/Milton Rotary this Friday, November 11th to celebrate our Veterans and other local heroes. We will hold two separate Veterans Day Celebrations in Milton and Colchester. The purpose of these events is to celebrate and recognize all of our local heroes in the community. These include our veterans as well as medical workers, first responders, all essential workers, teachers, and our local neighbors who have supported our communities in many different ways.
Milton High School (MHS) students Omar Moran & Lilly Noreault were this year's MHS recipients of the Rotary Youth Leadership Award (RYLA) in recognition of the completion of the RYLAcurriculum June 24 - 26, 2022.
Rotary Youth Leadership Awards aim to:
- Demonstrate Rotary's respect and concern for youth
- Enhance leadership skills and development for youth
- Encourage leadership of youth by youth
- Recognize youth who are rendering service to their community
Omar and Lilly are also members of the MHS Rotary Interact Club. Interact clubs bring together young people ages 12-18 to develop leadership skills while discovering the power of Service Above Self.
The Colchester-Milton Rotary is sponsoring a Blood Drive on September 15th, 2022 at the Colchester Meeting House from 10 AM to 3 PM. To make your appointment go to redcrossblood.org and enter ROTARY.
The presentation of Paul Harris Fellow recognition is The Rotary Foundation’s way of expressing its appreciation for a substantial contribution to its humanitarian and educational programs.
As many of you have seen and commented favorably on, our Flags for Heroes displays are flying at locations in Colchester and Milton. We are celebrating our heroes - soldiers, medical personnel, teachers, community workers, and veterans - by displaying flags in their honor. Flags are displayed during holidays at Dick Mazza’s General Store in Mallets Bay, Charlebois Trucking in Milton, Dr. Hayes's Office at Severance Corners, and at 12 business sponsor locations.
