The Barre Rotary Club recently completed another season running the BOR Concession Stand on Seminary Hill. This project, chaired by Eddie Rousse, involved opening the concession stand for various events including Black Bear Youth Hockey, Spaulding High School hockey games, public skating, and Barre Figure Skating Club events.
For the 4th year on may 4, 2025, the Interact Club at Spaulding High School spearheaded Tree Plenish. The goal of Tree Plenish is to plant trees to offset our school's carbon emissions.
Barre Rotarians rediscovered a gem nestled in our little city this week, as we visited the gorgeous library, exhibition, gallery, and research facility at the Vermont History Center.
ED Steve Perkins & Fellowship Coordinator Daphne Kinney-Landis shared an overview of the history & mission of this non-profit. A number of our members pointed out that they had attended school or taught at the school before students were transitioned over to SHS. If you missed our tour, treat yourself & set aside some time to visit this extraordinary Barre City resource.

The Barre Rotary Club celebrated its 100th year of serving the Barre community by hosting it's 3rd Annual Pie for Brunch Community Grants Celebration on Saturday, April 5th at the American Legion in downtown Barre.
Seventeen nonprofit organizations were selected to receive donations ranging from $250-$750, totalling $10,000 in grant funding, and representatives from each organization were recognized and honored at the annual event, which featured all-you-can-eat pie, a silent auction, and a 50/50 raffle. While some pies were homemade, others were donated by area restaurants and grocers such as the Wayside, Pearl Street Pizza, Hannafords and more.
