■The Bow Rotary Club is always looking for men and women who want to give back to their community. The Bow Rotary Club includes Bow and Dunbarton residents, and anyone who works in Bow or adjacent towns. Meetings are normally ever Friday morning from 7:15-8:30 a.m. at the Bow Old Town Hall on Bow Center Road. Currently, weekly meetings are held on Zoom.

■The Bow Garden Club recently booked speakers to present their garden programs via Zoom for the first few months of the Garden Club’s year (April-June). The club hopes to be able to offer some type of in-person meeting with a speaker present, however these plans are tentative. Meanwhile, club members are enjoying staying in touch via the club newsletter, which began last April. Members share their gardening tips, book reviews, recipes and other gardening related topics with fellow members.
■The Bow Garden Club welcomes new members and encourages anyone living in the Bow area to become part of the organization. You do not need to be an experienced gardener to join. Garden Club members learn from each and have fun doing it! If you are new to the area, being part of the Garden Club introduces you to a host of people of varying ages and backgrounds who share at least one common thing – the love of gardening. New members may wish to volunteer to help with the club’s ongoing civic beautification projects around town or in other ways (community service, craft projects, etc.) that take place throughout the Garden Club year (April through December). There is something for everyone! Visit bowgardenclub.org or contact membership chair and club president Keryn Anderson at kerynanderson@ericandkerynanderson.com, 856-8563 (home) or 731-6425 (cell) for additional information about the Bow Garden Club.
