LACONIA — The Lakes Region Rotary club recently reached out with gifts of support to four area nonprofits that have supported families who have been impacted by the pandemic over the past year. Belknap House, the Isaiah 61 Cafe, the Santa Fund, and Got Lunch Laconia each received donations of $500 to support their ongoing work.

Rotary member, Bob Ewell, said, “This has been a difficult year for everyone and these four organizations have done outstanding work helping the most vulnerable members of our community — children, homeless individuals and homeless families, and families in crisis.”

The Lakes Region Rotary Club follows the Rotary motto of “Service above Self.” Each year funds raised through the Lakes Region Rotary Annual car show are donated to support the work of area nonprofit organizations that work to make life in the Lakes Region better for children and families.

This year’s car show will be held on Saturday, July 24 from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. on Endicott Street North in the Weirs. More information about the car show is available on the Lakes Region Rotary Club Facebook page.

Anybody interested in learning more or becoming a member may contact the club through its email at lakesregionrotary@gmail.com.
