Rotary Club of Downtown Boston

A big thank you to our May speaker, Ned Morgan, Executive Director of Water Compass. Ned walked us through the current issues around access to clean water in Uganda and how Water Compass has addressed those challenges in a sustainable way. Our club was pretty spell-bound by this talk, and we had several visiting Rotarians and guests from Uganda who could share their own experiences with our club. Thanks for introducing us to a great initiative Ned!

The weekend after Earth Day a few of our Rotarians headed down to pick up trash along the Charles River. It was a beautiful day and the park looked spotless by the end!
