In this episode of the Dover Download podcast, Deputy City Manager Christopher Parker chats with newly appointed Dover Rotary Club President Cathy Beaudoin about the organization's century-long commitment to community service. Beaudoin discusses how the club, now in its 101st year, raises approximately $100,000 annually through weekly bingo operations to support local charities and community projects. She highlights the club's diverse initiatives, including providing milk and egg coupons for food pantry users, supplying shoes and boots to students in need, creating mittens for the unhoused, and sponsoring scholarships. The club meets twice monthly at 121 Broadway and seeks new members from all backgrounds, dispelling outdated perceptions about membership requirements.
Parker then speaks with Brian Early and Erin Bassegio about July's City Council and Planning Board activities. Early reports on council approvals for groundwater monitoring contracts, additional funding for the Fifth and Grove reconstruction project, and budget adjustments, including rescinding authorization for the sports complex design and Fire Rescue South station projects. He also mentions the council receiving a housing needs report and a donation from Mr. Handyman of Dover for trail improvements.
Bassegio covers Planning Board approvals for lot line adjustments, conditional use permits, and a 16-unit housing development at Dover Point Road. She also updates listeners on Energy Commission discussions about solar projects and Arts Commission achievements, including a new mural at Park Street Park and sculpture installation at Central Avenue.

Ruthie's Table 4
For more than 30 years The River Cafe in London, has been the home-from-home of artists, architects, designers, actors, collectors, writers, activists, and politicians. Michael Caine, Glenn Close, JJ Abrams, Steve McQueen, Victoria and David Beckham, and Lily Allen, are just some of the people who love to call The River Cafe home. On River Cafe Table 4, Rogers sits down with her customers—who have become friends—to talk about food memories. Table 4 explores how food impacts every aspect of our lives. “Foods is politics, food is cultural, food is how you express love, food is about your heritage, it defines who you and who you want to be,” says Rogers. Each week, Rogers invites her guest to reminisce about family suppers and first dates, what they cook, how they eat when performing, the restaurants they choose, and what food they seek when they need comfort. And to punctuate each episode of Table 4, guests such as Ralph Fiennes, Emily Blunt, and Alfonso Cuarón, read their favourite recipe from one of the best-selling River Cafe cookbooks. Table 4 itself, is situated near The River Cafe’s open kitchen, close to the bright pink wood-fired oven and next to the glossy yellow pass, where Ruthie oversees the restaurant. You are invited to take a seat at this intimate table and join the conversation.
