Rotary District 7910 Diversity Equity and Inclusion Citation
Rotary District 7910 Diversity Equity and Inclusion Citation

The Rotary District 7910 Social Equity Task Force is a group of 9 people, from clubs around the district, working to help our clubs consider Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion, and what that means for their club and their community.  We are here to offer our help if that is something you would like to explore.  We have the following to offer: a Social Equity Task Force presentation, the RI Club Diversity Assessment, and consultation on DEI community service projects, membership diversity, and DEI in your community. 

For those clubs that focus on DEI in the coming months, we have the DEI Citation.  Complete the attached rubric and we would love to include your club among those that receive this citation at the District Assembly in early May.  For more info, contact Bill Paulson at 781-929-2453 or Bill@BillPaulson.com.

Bedford Rotary Scavenger Hunt
Bedford Rotary Scavenger Hunt
On a warm sunny day in November, nine families exercised their hunting skills and had a blast searching for seventy five items in their community. Thirty one participants, including four furry family members used creativity and strategies to earn points. Six crews set out around Bedford, one on the cape, and one in Hudson. They searched for statues, and rotary signs, they reenacted the famous Beatles Abby Road album cover, and interpreted items in their own way. Russell Swinton said  "This was a wonderful event. Bethany and I had a terrific time!"  Watch the Scavenger Hunt Video
