Wallingford Rotary held its annual fishing derby and clinic on Saturday June 10th. A bit shout out to our community without whom the event would not be possible and to our Fishing Derby Chairperson, Don Glendenning who once again put together an amazing community event. Some of the day’s highlights:
A few highlights of the day:
We had 50 registered student fisherman ranging in age from 18 months to 15 years old, all where attended by a guardian.
There were approximately 40 plus fish caught between 9 and 12 inches, a few may have missed the measuring station.
We had ten Rotarians attend this morning and assist from set up to take down. We had assistant for other members with prizes and supplies, once again support from all.
Our grill master, Jay White cooked 120 hotdogs, the official hot dog count between the 50 students and the 10 Rotarians is still be calculated.
Here are some pictures of a wonderful community event, uniting young and the young at heart members of our community, first time fishers and experienced mentors and resulted in a whole lot of fun for all involved.

This morning the Wallingford Rotary Club inducted its newest Rotarian, Todd Gregory, M.D. to our club. The ceremony conducted by President Dave Ballou with assistance from Randall Barclay DGE was a first for the little red schoolhouse club, done in a hybrid fashion with some participants in person at the Schoolhouse and some members participating via video conferencing. Hopefully this will be a new way of our little rotary club stretching its wings and making the world a little smaller and bringing people from all over the world to our club.
Congratulations to Dr. Gregory who is the Medical Director of the Emergency Department of Rutland Regional Medical Center! We are very happy to have you join our ranks as a Wallingford Rotarian!
Thanks to John Bob Siemienowicz, Incoming District Governor for his fantastic virtual photography skills capturing the moment!
Dr. Gregory joins our other new members this year, Drew Elwood and Paul Gillett and we are grateful for them all!

Please consider donating to Wallingford Rotary to show your support for our local, regional and global efforts since we are not able to conduct in person fundraising events during the COVID19 pandemic. Our usual methods of fundraising, our annual Lobsterfest and Silent Auction, Coin Drop and our quarterly dinners at the Little Red Schoolhouse have all been put on hold during this pandemic, as we put the health and safety our community first and foremost in our hearts and minds. Therefore, we are embarking on a donation campaign to compensate for the lack of those funds so we can continue to serve our local, regional, state and global community and keep our Rotary motto of “Service Above Self” at the core of what we do here at the Little Red Schoolhouse.
From the bottom of our hearts, thank you for your support.
