Channel: Rotary District 7910 - Suburban Boston/Central Mass

​Big, hearty, service-way-above-self congrats to Worcester Rotarian Satya Mitra for being named Rotarian of the Year for Rotary District 7910, which consists of 51 Rotary clubs and more than 1,400 Rotarians in Central Mass. and Metrowest. Shown during today's Worcester Rotary meeting, is Worcester Past President Roger Frost presenting the award to Satya, who is a Worcester past president, an assistant governor, and chair of the district's Million Dollar Journey campaign. Also shown are District Governors Pat and Skip Doyle, who announced the award during the Multi-District Conference on April 28 through 30 in Providence.

Rotary International has asked its 529 districts worldwide to raise at least $1 million each in cash or pledges over the next two to three years, to benefit The Rotary Foundation, its 100-year-old charitable arm - and one of the largest, most effective charitable foundations in the world. Since D7910 launched its own campaign last fall, Satya and his team have hit the $1.3-million mark, with a goal of reaching $1.5 million by this May 25, when the district will hold a Million Dollar Journey Dinner at Mechanics Hall in Worcester. Satya's overall goal is to reach $2 million by June 30, 2018.

During today's luncheon at Grill on the Hill in Worcester, Satya and his wife and fellow Worcester Rotarian, Sheema Mitra, received several other awards for their Rotary giving. Last fall, they started JoyGuru Humanitarian Services, a charitable, non-profit that seeks to provide inspirational-storytelling speaking engagements that ignite people to do good and be good for the community at large in their businesses, organizations and lives.
