LAMPS A LIGHTING

The 16th Annual Lamplighter Tour was, once again, a great success.  The tour brings history to life with stories told in an entertaining way, as it recalls (and celebrates) the uniqueness of the Lincoln community.
 
The club appreciates the extraordinary team of actors, directors and other volunteers who committed so much of their time to make the show come to life this November along with the tremendous support throughout the community, from sponsors and audiences in making this and every production such a success.  This year’s production was Cultivating Minds, a history of education in the Town of Lincoln.
 
Since its inception in 2004, the phenomenal success of the annual tour has enabled the Rotary Club of Lincoln to contribute to major local community projects. Specifically, the funds raised from the Lamplighter Tour are dedicated to building community through special projects that foster civic pride and enable advancement of cultural and economic development in the Town of Lincoln.
 

GET YOUR PURPLE ON

In support of World Polio Day - a flag raising at Town Hall. Thanks to Mayor Sandra Easton, Councilors and Town of Lincoln, staff and Lincoln Rotarians that supported this recognition. The flag was raised in the friendship garden after a short presentation to staff and council about polio and the effort by Rotary to eradicate the disease. The mayor, staff, councilors and Rotarians also participated in a "Purple Pinkie Activity". All had their pinkie finger colored with a purple marker just as the recipients of the polio vaccine are marked to keep track of who has received the vaccine.
