Service Projects Committee Update
Posted by Shaun Farrar
Over the recent few weeks, I coordinated with Pastor Rob Benson to arrange for Rotarian packers to load backpacks for the Bar Harbor Congregational Church Backpack Project.
PR Chair Carrie Jones and myself will be meeting with Amy Schwartz to discuss increased Rotary involvement in the Park Street Playground project later this week.
I will be meeting with a local community service provider to discuss the possibility of providing service only (manpower) resources for the building of a handicap accessibility ramp.
On September 2nd, Rotarians Dick Fox, Carrie Jones and myself joined with Charlie Wilcomb of the YMCA to rearrange and organize the Bangor Hydro building.
The Service Committee continued its involvement with the Bar Harbor Kids Book Festival at a bi-weekly board meeting on September 4th, represented by Rotarians Melinda Rice, Maryanne Mattson, Doreen Willett, Steve Boucher, Carrie Jones and myself. In addition, I submitted its 501c3 application. Thank you to the following Rotarians for working the Book Festival fundraising booth for the Bar Harbor Art Walk on September 4th. Doreen Willett, Steve Boucher, Carrie Jones, Jenna Boucher, MaryAnne Matteson and Suzy Davis!
We will have a Service Committee meeting, date to be determined, prior to the September Board Meeting. Feel free to contact me at any time with any ideas for service or questions and concerns at sfarrar86@gmail.com
Thanks!
