A wonderful way to support the Rotary Foundation is to make a bequest as part of your estate planning. Like any Rotary donation, you have choices where the money can go.

Thanks to the Southborough Rotary Club, about a dozen refugee families staying in a Westborough hotel will now have warm coats this season. Rotary members quickly mobilized to collect new and gently used coats tailored to the sizes and preferences of each family member. Volunteers spent hours ensuring every detail was addressed. Many members even added personal, handwritten notes to welcome the families and brighten their day. As new families arrive and others transition to permanent housing, the need for support continues. Yet again, Rotary’s motto, SERVICE Above Self, has proven true.
