President’s Message

Welcome to the Danvers Rotary Website

I am proud and honored to be the Danvers Rotary President for the year 2011/2012. This year’s theme from our Rotary International President Kalyan Banerjee is Reach Within to Embrace Humanity. President Banerjee also said, " Rotary has the strength of a government and the tenderness of a parent".

Polio is extremely close to finally being eradicated because of the efforts of Rotarians all over the worlds. Our club will continue to fund raise and put fourth the effort to see that this happens.

Danvers Rotary, now heading into our 88th year in the community, and under my leadership, will continue with the many hands on projects in the town including donations to many local organizations and scholarships. It is important to make sure local families have every opportunity to succeed with the club's help we can make this happen. Our efforts will include, but not be limited to, sending kids to summer camp, the dictionary project for every 3^{rd graders in the school system, the food pantry, Christmas gifts given out during the holidays, and scholarships to high school seniors.}

We will have fund raising events during the entire year with our major fundraiser to be in November. I am looking forward to working hard with our wonderful club members to make sure we can accomplish our goals for the year and also have a lot of fun doing it.

Our club is always looking for new members, people who want to make a difference in the world we live in. I will always be thankful for the encouragement to join Rotary back in 1995 by my father Al Allain, Past President of the Peabody club. I have met some of the best people in my life being a Danvers Rotarian and have enjoyed giving back to the community where I was born and raised.

Best regards

Jason Allain

Danvers Rotary President 2011/2012
