The Cohasset Rotary Road Race by the Sea 10K is the best way to start the running season. For 42 years Cohasset Road Race by the Sea has been a spring tradition and training run for the Boston Marathon, and remains one of Cohasset Rotary Club’s most important fundraisers. We have the happiest runners and it shows! Great views and lots of fun! All runners receive our collected long sleeve tee shirt. Runners register here www.roadracebythesea.com.
Our 175 volunteers (almost half are high school students!) are instrumental in making this a fun and successful day. We need people at registration passing out bibs and tee shirts, people guarding intersections, in the kitchen cooking hot dogs, cutting bagels and fruit. All volunteers receive a tee shirt. If you would like to volunteer register here!
Jeff Butler, moved to Cohasset from Silicon Valley two months ago is is already jumping into the community to make connections. He is a UC Berkeley grad, computer science major. He created and sold a Real Estate data business before finding a gap in business training and becoming a Professional Speaker with an expertise in millennial employees.
Originally in tech, Jeff loved the psychology of business and research. He can now be found across the globe as an International Keynote speaker addressing subjects and organizations such as TedX, Multi-Generational Management, How to Work with People of Different Cultural Backgrounds, Millennials in the Workforce (MO Police), etc.
We think Jeff would be great at developing our millennial membership!

Officer Reardon and new canine partner Einstein visited the Cohasset Rotary Club on Monday to introduce Cohasset’s newest working police dog, an eleven month old Belgian Malinois who trains daily with Officer Pat Reardon.
Nothing keeps our runners (or volunteers) from smiling, not rain, snow, sleet or wind. The Cohasset Road Race-by-the-Sea Fun 5 mile run is over with over 800 runners who came out to support Cohasset Rotary. Thank you hardy souls!!!
We could not have the road race without our 200+ volunteer ‘veterans' and ‘newbies', and half of them were our amazing high school students and younger Scouts - our community is SO giving! We lost count of how many appeared on race day asking "How can I help?". AMAZING! We are SO appreciative of each and everyone of you who worked and came with a smile and positive attitude - irregardless of the threatening and too frequent March precipitation (not to mention that fluffy ’S’ word) and the blowing winds.
Trish Hart spoke about the importance of integrative wellness: yoga, breath work, stress management and mind/body wellness. She practices at MGH, Benson Henry Institute, Center for Integrative Wellness (Hingham), and various yoga centers. http://www.trishhartyoga.com
