We are saddened to announce the passing of honorary member NanaB, mother of our Deb Bryan. NanaB’s warmth touched many, and she will be greatly missed. Our thoughts are with Deb and her family during this difficult time.
The Middletown Rotary Club proudly supported several local organizations in July 2024:
Newport County YMCA: A $500 check was awarded to the Newport YMCA in support of the Island Interact Club, a service club for teens. The Interact Club is hosting a community event on August 7th at 8 am to clean up Third Beach.
Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. Community Center: Our Co-president, Angel Gonzalez, presented a $500 check to support the Center's Freedom from Hunger Campaign, with the donation being doubled through a matching program.
Middletown Public Library: We supported the Children's Library Summer Reading Program by donating $800 worth of canned pet food earned and decorated by young readers for donation to the Potter Animal League.
Newport Artillery Company: We provided a check to support this historic organization and had the privilege of meeting at their armory, which houses a fascinating museum and is the oldest military unit in the U.S. still operating under its original charter from 1741.
