Current Club Activities and Events
Chaired by Immediate Past President Bill Spalding, the Salisbury Rotary Club’s June 10th luncheon featured two presentations. 
       Past President John Hedbavny welcomed Digby Brown, now a Noble Horizons’ resident and former SRC member, and led a recognition of Digby’s years of service to the Club and the community.  A Past President of the Club (2007-08) and past Chair for some 15 years of the Club’s July 4 Fireworks @ Lime Rock Park, the Club’s largest annual fundraiser, and additional leadership roles were recognized.
      Club member Bill Willis introduced local resident and noteworthy playwright, Lonnie Carter who shared his latest work, “1781,” that tells the story of MumBet, aka Elizabeth Freeman, and that will be presented June 19 at The Center on Main Street in Falls Village.  MumBet’s momentous story tells of her being the first enslaved person to file a legal suit that won her freedom she had heard so much about and wanted so badly. FREE ADMISSION to celebrate Juneteenth.
 
Those attending the 5/27 luncheon meeting of the Salisbury Rotary Club heard Club President, Angelo Paul Ramunni, share why he decided to open the New England Accordion Connection & Museum Co. in North Canaan.  To do so, he told several stories, each which accompanied the acquisition of an accordion by the museum and tied in nicely with the recent observation of Memorial Day.  A descriptive and detailed telling of these stories can be found on Paul’s Facebook page. Paul has learned that it is the stories that come with each unique accordion that are the answer to why the New England Accordion Connection & Museum Co. has become a passion with such purpose.  FMI: https://newenglandaccordionconnectionandmuseumcompany.com/
At our lunch meeting, we enjoyed meeting and hearing from Eileen and her husband from the Rotary District.
Eileen spoke about the Rotary Foundation's importance and expressed her gratitude for all they do. She shared stories about how the money helps other clubs with projects.
Our speaker on 2-28-25 was Melia Hill agent for the Social Services in Sharon CT. She spoke to our club regarding what her job responsibilities were and what she does and how we could help.  Rotarians brought in food and the Club donated $200 to the Food Closet.  To reach out to Melia or find out more click here: Social Services | Sharon CT.
