Dartmouth, MA — The Dartmouth Rotary Club proudly celebrated its 2026 Installation of Officers and annual Service Above Self Awards at a recent ceremony. 

Five outstanding students were recognized:

  • Christian Cordeiro, Greater New Bedford Regional Vocational Technical High School
  • Olivia Crane, Dartmouth High School
  • Ella Friedman, Dartmouth High School
  • Ellie Peterson, Bishop Stang High School

Each student received a $1,000 scholarship for their exemplary commitment to service and leadership.

Distinguished guests included Elizabeth Teves-Roda, representing U.S. Congressman William Keating, and State Representative Chris Markey. Both addressed the students and attendees and commended the honorees for their dedication to positively impacting their communities.

Special thanks go to Maria Connor and the Friends of the Elderly for their generous donation, which supported the student winners and intergenerational programming.

🌟 Inspiring the Next Generation of Community Leaders! 🌟
The Dartmouth Rotary Club is proud to announce an exciting collaboration with the Dartmouth High School Student Council, highlighting the power of service and the importance of youth involvement in making a difference.
Together, we’re launching the Service Squad Initiative, a program designed to inspire students to engage in meaningful community service projects.
At a recent meeting held at Dartmouth High School, Rotary Club members Carl Alves, Richard Arruda, Micaela Manzone, and Mark Medeiros introduced this initiative to student council members.
The goal? To foster a long-term partnership between our Rotary Club, local schools, and students, working hand-in-hand to address pressing community issues through service.
Three Key Project Areas:
Melanoma Awareness – Educating the community about prevention and early detection.
Intergenerational Connections – Bridging the gap between generations through impactful interactions.
Farm Planting for Food Insecurity – Tackling hunger by planting and providing fresh food for needy people.
 
 
Reuse, Repurpose, Recycle... Rotary is doing its part today!  Proceeds support youth programs!  #joinrotary David Brodeur
