Are you an established professional wanting to make positive changes in your community and around the world?
Becoming a Rotarian connects you with a diverse group of professionals who share your drive to give back. Over a meal or coffee, or even online, you'll:
- Discuss your community's needs and discover creative ways to meet them
- Expand your leadership and professional skills
- Catch up with good friends and meet new ones
Our club PE (President Elect), Reyleigh McKay, attended the Northeast President Elect Training in Framingham, MA over the weekend. The purpose of this event is to train incoming presidents and to get into the nitty gritty of Rotary. She met Rotarians from all over New England, some members of the Rotary International Staff, the inspiring keynote speakers, and many more. Reyleigh left the 3-day training full of ideas! The opportunity for leadership in Rotary comes naturally - if you are a leader in the community, Rotary is for you! Come join us at one of our meetings or upcoming service project!

Rotary clubs do important work. But members who want to do even more can connect with other Rotarians who share their passion at a higher level of intensity in one particular area. A Rotary Action Group (RAG) is a voluntary organization that functions independently of Rotary International. Each RAG establishes its own rules, dues requirements, and administrative structure. RAGs are composed of Rotarians, family members, program participants and alumni who are experts in a particular field. Group members share their expertise by collaborating with clubs and districts on service projects. Here are eight Rotary Action Groups that focus on a particular disease prevention and awareness.
Superintendent Sandy Prince was the guest speaker on Tuesday, November 26th. He listed top priorities that he sees, including consolidating schools. RYLA alumni and parents were invited and shared their experiences.

Thanks to all who could attend the meeting on 1 AUG.
Our meeting opened with an introduction of or guests, Corey Dennen who assisted in our traditional 50/50 and Happy dollars and Todd Souza who is the new director of community services in Scarborough.
I announced to the group that I had reached out to Tony Wagner regarding Visioning but came to realize that Tony has been on vacation. I also informed the group that I had reached out to the new Principal of the SMS.
As a follow up to both , I heard back from Tony just after the meeting. Tony is thrilled that we are pursuing Visioning . I also heard back from Principal Nadeau after hours. She too is looking forward to speaking with us.
Merry Christmas was the next topic or more specifically Christmas tree sales. The club agrees that we should sell trees and wreaths this year. It was agreed that we should order the same number of trees as last year.
As committee chair of tree sales I added the action item to place this order in late AUG 2017.
Rick then did a formal introduction of our speaker. Todd gave a great talk to us covering broad range of topics. Important to his discussion was a summary of his past experiences in Wiscasset as the director of the community center in that town.
I believe the group gained a much better understanding of all that Community Services does in the town of Scarborough and what this new director would like to see going forward.
Todd stated a number of times that he is looking for input from the community as well as collaboration with the various service groups in the town.
As is often the case, 7 PM arrived quickly and we adjourned the meeting.
One final note...........Our first BOD meeting of 2017/18 will be next week 8 AUG. Club officers are asked to please schedule time for this meeting and as always all are welcome to attend.
Regards,
Troy
