SCHOLARSHIP NAMED IN HONOR ARTHUR DIRECTOR, A MEMBER OF THE MIDDLETOWN ROTARY CLUB FOR OVER 53 YEARS

At the Middletown Rotary Club meeting on October 22, Thayer Talbot, Director of Programs & Operations with the Community Foundation of Middlesex County (CFMC), presented Middletown Rotary Club President Garry Mullaney a check for over $1100. 

The charitable contribution was from the Arthur & Edythe Director Family Middletown Rotary Fund established with CFMC.  Arthur Director, a member of the Middletown Rotary Club for over 53 years, created this fund to support programs and services designed to prepare young people for their futures.
