Our Misson
"I don’t know what it’s all about but am interested in learning more about it.
Everyone here, I’m sure, has active lifestyles and is a resource ready to contribute in some way.
[The club] could be a great asset to both towns."
JoAnne Mayer
ElderAct established in 2014 is a senior volunteer group sponsored by the Swampscott Rotary Club and the Rotary Club of Marblehead Harbor. The only requirements are “service above self” and to have fun. There are no dues. Attendance is not required but it is a great way to socialize and have fun. Membership is open to all seniors.

Serving children, families, seniors, and our military and their families. ElderActors seek to give back by impacting lives in a positive peaceful manner within our communities and beyond.
"Rotary finally opened its good eye and realized there is a huge untapped wealth of rich service opportunities to be channelled through our growing, very active senior populations.
Swampscott and Marblehead jumped on the new Rotary Club like a puppy to a bone.”
