July Fifth Tuesday and Thursday: Along with our Fifth Tuesday at Nooney Farm (see the story below), some of our club also attended the After-Hours club's Fifth Thursday at Tributary Brewing Co. 

 

New Member: Whitney Blethen was inducted as Kittery Rotary's newest member. In October of 2024, Whitney was honored as one Kittery Rotary's Community Champions for her many volunteer efforts, especially those to establish and maintain the Community Fridge.

 

 

Membership Month: August is membership month, be thinking of potential new members.

 

Meal Train for Pauli: If you can provide meals, please sign on to Pauli's Meal Train at this link ==> Meal Train. Pauli is at 18 Pepperrell Rd. Meals can be left in a cooler that is on the porch. No red meat, please. Fish and chicken are ok. Salads and soups are good. Please use throw-away containers and label smaller portions. 

 

District Grant: Our District Grant for $4,000 for Pre-K at Mitchell School was approved. 

 

Community Champions: Someone is needed to head up the effort to identify candidates 

 

District Governor Visit: Our DG Emma Bodwell made her official DG visit this week. She complimented our club for the super work we've done with youth. She then went on to present her 10 "Sparks" or reminders. Some of the highlights were our theme, "Unite for Good", Rotary is a family, the importance of stories (every story is a seed), a "Night for Good" to celebrate what we do, "membership matters", the power of belonging, "Let's have some fun", and the need for good people to serve (leadership training builds skills). 

 

Next Meeting: Business Meeting, Wednesday, August 13, 11:00 a.m. via Zoom.
