Seniors enjoy pasta dinner hosted by Rotary & Lion's Heart

About 90 seniors began arriving early and waited patiently for the home cooked pasta meal to be prepared by volunteers from the Franklin Rotary and served by members of the Lion's Heart group on Thursday, October 10, 2024.

There was lots of happy faces and many empty plates for this event at Central Park Terrace. It was originally scheduled for June but the weather that day was forecasted to be one of the high heat days and wisely the event was rescheduled. It was much more comfortable to enjoy the meal on Thursday.

Franklin Rotary Club President Diane Padula talks about "service before self" and Rotary events (audio)

FM #1121 = This is the Franklin Matters radio show, number 1121 in the series. 


This shares my interview and discussion with Franklin Rotary Club President Diane Padula. Our discussion was conducted in the Franklin TV & Radio studio.


Diane calls herself a “Rotary kid” as she grew up with her father as a member for many years.


We talk about the Rotary Club as “service before self”, meeting twice a month at the Rome Restaurant in Franklin. The annual pasta dinner for seniors in June, the Valentine’s Brunch for seniors coming up in February, and other events they host in Franklin. This “small but mighty” group is always looking for new members.


The recording runs about 22 minutes, so let’s listen to my conversation with Diane as we talk about what the Rotary does for Franklin. Audio link -> https://franklin-ma-matters.captivate.fm/episode/fm-1121-franklin-rotary-club-president-diane-padula-12-11-23
