Mona’s opening statement was about the history of the Service Above Self and her mission is to have every Rotarian in the club to find their passion, find something that moves them and that makes them happy. Mona would like for all of us to find the one thing that we can give our hearts too this year.

Guest Speaker: Leonard Derby, President of the VVA TriSTate Chapter 843.
Leonard shared his amazing career and history with the Army, he jobs and career placements through the years. Thank you for your service Leonard. I didn’t write all the things because I was thinking of his history and career path. I spent time in Fort Eustis as well and I am just so thankful for his service.
Your story about how you were inspired in 1991 to support Veterans after the parade is amazing.
Leonard’s passion of bringing the Moving Wall to Brattleboro is amazing but he still needs help and a ot of volunteers for a smooth operation. The plan is very well thought out and we appreciate the skill, patience and talents this mission requires.
Here is a list of things that Leonard needs:
Carpenters
Assistance spreading the wood chips for the walkway (Rakers, rakes and clean up)
People to carry the walls.
Flag Coral set up volunteers.
Shelter set up, hoping the Guard comes and does that
Benches
Medical Tent
Ground Keepers for maintenance and clean up
Posters
Shrub and flower donations
Wreath presenters
Speakers
