Rockport Rotary members filled the hearts of Rockport’s senior citizens with joy at a delightful Valentine’s luncheon held at the Fish Shack Restaurant! Rotarians served a delicious baked haddock dinner, along with coffee and scrumptious desserts graciously donated and prepared by the Fish Shack.

To add a special touch, Rockport elementary school students crafted lovely Valentine cards for everyone. The celebration was made even more vibrant with wonderful music from three RHS chorus soloists! A huge thank you to all who made this annual event such a success—especially the Porter family, Tuck's Candy Factory, and Audrey's Flower Shop. Your support truly brightens our community!

The club is proud to announce that we recently funded  half the cost of an electric car safety plug. This plug allows first responders to disable the vehicle during an accident to prevent further injuries to the driver or safety personnel. Fire Chief Wonson thanked Rockport Rotary for its continuous support, allowing them to “purchase the newest equipment to keep our Rockport residents and visitors safe.”

Rockport Rotary has had an 11-year tradition of reading the Declaration of Independence to large crowds in Dock Square on the Fourth of July. Unfortunately, it was shelved for a couple of years due to the pandemic. This year we were back in force and in full costume, despite our regular Town Crier coming down with—you guessed it—COVID. Bob Gillis and Alan Battistelli stepped up at the last minute with a rousing rendition of everyone's favorite declaration. The club followed this up later in the day with a Rotary float in the Fireman's Parade.

The department was represented by Chief Kirk Keating, Assistant Chief Mark Wonson, Forest Fire Warden Mike Frontierro, and Captain Frank Favaloro. State representative Bruce Tarr was also in attendance to congratulate all the heroes who were honored by clubs in Rotary District 7930.
 
Rockport Rotary, along with Breen & Sullivan Mechanical Services and Emerson Swan, Inc., stepped up to help the Action Shelter in Gloucester keep their cool with a new central air conditioning system. Rockport Rotary provided funding for the project in the form of a $5,600 District Grant in cooperation with Rotary District 7930.
