Anyone can be impacted by challenges and for our fellow Americans in CA, wildfires have made their challenges seem more than daunting. As a result, Rotary Clubs throughout our country, including those from our own District 7870, have reached out in support of those in the Greater Los Angeles area located in District 5280 to assist them with Rotary Disaster Grants and monetary contributions.

The holiday season is a time for meaningful giving and celebration and this year once again, the Rotary Club of Nashua West has made a difference for fifty Nashua area children and their families.
The Rotary Club of Nashua West again worked in partnership with Barnes and Noble for our Annual Book Fair Literacy Program. Through this program Rotarians are given B&N Book Fair Vouchers which they use to either shop on-line or at any store nationwide for books to donate or to purchase personal items. In turn, the bookstore then issues an additional voucher according to the club’s percentage of total sales.
Nashua West Rotary held its first ever Alumni Reunion on November 20th in Nashua, bringing together close to 60 past and present members and guests to celebrate what Rotary has meant to them over the years. President Betsy Houde was inspired to reconnect with people whose love of being a Nashua West Rotarian was cut short due to retirement, health issues, relocation, and so forth.

The Rotary Club of Nashua West in conjunction with the Rotary Club of Nashua recently sponsored our annual Four Way Test Speech contest. This competition offers high school students an opportunity to compete by delivering original speeches, five to seven minutes in length, on a variety of topics. These topics should be of current interest and use concepts which encompass elements from the Rotary Four Way Test in the body of their speech.
The Four Way Test was written in 1932 at the height of the Great Depression by Herbert J. Taylor, a Chicago Rotarian who later became President of Rotary International (1954-55). It was used by Taylor as a basis in determining ethical decisions at a company which was on the verge of bankruptcy. This 24-word test enabled his employees to change the direction of the company and has been credited with having saved the company. The Four Way Test was adopted by Rotary International in 1943 and has been translated into more than a hundred different languages.
Contestants who competed in this year’s event were:
