Monday evening the membership was expecting Joe Vacca to speak to us.  Instead we had the pleasure of Board member and Coach Sean Donohue as our guest speaker.  Sean has been a coach with the 9 and 10 year old boys - and one girl - for a few years now.  He is a fourth generation Stonington High School football player.  He said that many of the safety protocols and rules have changed, such as no "blind" tackling or head contact.  The helmets have been updated and are tested annually at end of season.  Coaches have to be certified.  He also said that an EMT volunteer is on hand at games and practices. 

Steve Cofone enlisted his help to bring some of his Stonington High School alum family to the annual Rotary Stonington-Westerly Football Night November 19th.

Football schedule for the rest of the season: 

            9/15: Norwich - away           9/22: Stonington - home

            9/29: Ledyard - away           10/6: Montville - home

          10/27: Griswold - home        Playoffs - tba

 

 

As he does every year, Dan spends part of the winter in Mexico working with the La Penita Rotary Club.  Last winter the project was about gardening, instead of building or restoring.  At the J J Cruz Elementary School of La Colmena, Nayarit, Mexico, the project involved clearing a section of land, building raised beds, making compost, planting seeds, tending the crops, harvesting.   Martha Ocampo, a Montessori trained teacher from another village, volunteered to go to California to be trained in the "Edible Garden Project".  Dan said that several Rotary clubs, visiting Mexico, work together each year on some project planned by the La Penita Club.  He said our donation provided the following:  a truckload of topsoil, seeds, rakes, hoes, shovels, a gate and lock for storage of the equipment, fruit trees, assistance to Martha for the California training.  Dan believed that this was a great project because, not only did the children, from Grades One through Six, learn about production of food, but the project included all family members.
