Great evening celebrating our young leaders in the park as our weekly Rotary meeting! These incredible students are dedicated in their willingness to understand the challenges we face as a community and explore opportunities they can help create for each other.

Our club celebrated 66 years as a charter club of Rotary International last evening at Bella's. Charter Night is a time for our club to celebrate the previous year's accomplishments while celebrating the excitement of a new Rotary year ahead.
Current President Michael Dubois symbolically handed the original charter from 1960 and exchanged his President's pin with our new club President, Lisa Carcifero. We look forward to an amazing year under Lisa's leadership.

The night also included the swearing in of the 2026/2027 Board of Directors, Club Officers, and Woonsocket Rotary Charitable Foundation Board.

One highlight of the evening was the induction of two new members of our club, Fahy Remillard and Linda Paul. Welcome to our amazing family.

Congratulations to Mark Harnois, who was honored as Rotarian of the Year, and Ken and Wendi Pippins, who each received the Rising Star award.

If you have an interest in learning more about the Woonsocket Rotary, please feel free to come to a weekly meeting on Thursdays at 6:00 pm at River Falls or visit www.WoonsocketRotary.com
