When I first joined Rotary ten years ago, I had no idea what Rotary was all about. I didn’t know if Rotarians wore funny hats, practiced mysterious rituals or had secret handshakes. I didn’t understand the mission of Rotary, its basic principles or the breadth and scope of the organization. But what I discovered when I went to that first meeting was a group of men and women who genuinely wanted to do good in this world, and somehow, make a difference.
On May 11th, Westborough Rotarians joined with other Rotarians & friends from District 7910 to help build housing for pigs and chickens at Cultivate Care Farms in Bolton, MA. We also rebuilt a fire pit, and, several lucky Rotarians had the pleasure of "mucking out" a barn. Cultivate Care Farms' mission is to operate, maintain, and expand Care Farming for humans and animals to heal and grow therapeutically through mental health, wellness, and community outreach programming.
