Thanks for a Successful Bunco Bash
The members of the Cambridge Area Rotary (CAR) would like to thank the community and sponsors for its generous support of our Bunco bash which was held on Saturday, April 12th. With your generosity more than $5,000 was raised. This money supports the CAR's service outreach within and beyond our community including activities such as the Dictionary and Thesaurus distribution to elementary students at Cambridge Elementary School and Waterville, the Winter Wellness Program for 4th, 5th and 6th graders at Cambridge Elementary School, the Community Ice Rink, the Cambridge Food Shelf, An International Shelter Box for disaster relief and more! Anyone interested in Rotary can attend a breakfast meeting as our guest. Either contact a current member or just show up on a Thursday morning at 158 Main at 7:00 am to see what we are all about.

A tie is a NO, or a defeat.
i.e., our Recreation Director: 306-306
or "no action taken".

Congressman Peter Welch
United States House of Representatives
Obama to sign Welch-authored pediatric research bill into law today
Bill is second bipartisan Welch initiative to become law this week
WASHINGTON, DC (April 3rd) – In an Oval Office ceremony at 4 p.m. this afternoon, President Obama will sign into law The Gabriella Miller Kids First Research Act (H.R. 2019) authored by Rep. Peter Welch and Rep. Greg Harper (R-MS). The new law will boost funding for pediatric research at the National Institutes of Health.
The legislation is named in memory of Gabriella Miller, a 10-year-old children’s health research advocate who died of brain cancer in October. Gabriella’s parents, Ellyn and Mark Miller of Loudon County, VA will be present at the ceremony. Also in attendance will be House Majority Leader Eric Cantor (R-VA) who worked closely with Welch to pass the legislation.
“This year alone, the parents of over 10,000 children across this country will receive the heart wrenching news that their precious child has been diagnosed with cancer. Today, we make an important investment in life-saving pediatric disease research which we hope will lead to long overdue cures,” said Welch. “And we also demonstrate that bipartisan progress is possible even in this divided Congress.”
This new law creates the 10-Year Pediatric Research Initiative Fund at NIH which will invest $12.6 million annually for 10 years in scientific research on pediatric diseases and disorders. The Fund is paid for by eliminating taxpayer financing for political party conventions.
Earlier this week, President Obama signed into law Welch’s bipartisan legislation that will assist hospitals serving disproportionately large numbers of seniors in rural communities, including four Vermont hospitals.
And last month, the House of Representatives passed Welch’s energy efficiency bill by a vote of 375-36. That bill is expected to be considered in the near future by the full Senate, where Welch is working closely with Sen. Jeanne Shaheen (D-NH) and Sen. Rob Portman (R-OH).
EDITOR's NOTE: The president signed the legislation at 4:00pm this afternoon.
Eric Cantor rode with Congressman Welch to the White House.
