What started as a call to clear out old electronics turned into a strong show of community support, as the Neponset Valley Sunrise Rotary Club’s Electronics Recycling Day in April drew a stream of residents throughout the morning.
Held in partnership with the Town of Dedham and Complete Recycling Solutions, the event provided a convenient and responsible way for community members to dispose of unwanted electronic devices. From outdated monitors to long-forgotten cables and aging laptops, residents arrived ready to declutter—and they delivered.

The 23rd annual Neponset Valley Sunrise Rotary Club's duck race was a smashing success! We finally broke the spell of rainy Saturdays, enjoying a stellar day on the field filled with sunshine, smiles, and plenty of games ashore. Our ducks were enthusiastically dumped into the Charles River by a front-end loader and quickly raced downstream, though they eventually decided to just float and enjoy the scenery!
