Polio Plus Fundraiser

 
Hello everyone!
 
We had a great evening last week at Mainely meat! Great turnout and lots of smiles and laughs, thank you all for braving the chill and especially Mainely meat for the fantastic spread!
 
Just wanted to take this opportunity to remind everyone that we will be holding our polio plus fundraiser on October 22nd, here in Bar Harbor. We will be at Pats Pizza from 12 PM-7 PM painting pinkies for a dollar and Pats will also be donating $1 a pizza. Also, we will be at the Thirsty Whale from 12 PM-7 PM where they will be donating 50 cents a draft as well will be painting pinkies for $1. AND, we will also be outside selling shirts and painting pinkies at a table between the First and Bar Harbor Banking Trust! We're painting the town purple! Come on out and have your pinkie painted and say Hello!
 
See you all this Wednesday, noon at Birch Bay!

The Rotary Foundation - Rotary is making a real difference in the lives of many

In the suburbs of Atlanta, Rotarians are filling a gap in social services to help struggling families get back on their feet.

It's a sunny Friday afternoon in the quiet suburbs of Atlanta. Beatrice is at home with her 10-year-old daughter, who is practicing the trumpet. Her older daughter, age 12, is at her first school dance. It's a rare moment of relaxation for the family amid their usual activities - church, homework, chores.

It's hard to imagine now, but just seven years ago, Beatrice was homeless.

Social service programs, with the support of Rotary, helped her get back on her feet, and today she's a homeowner with a master's degree.

Read the rest of Beatrice's story along with other good news from the Rotary Foundation by clicking here https://www.rotary.org/en/rotarians-help-families-atlanta.  

Our goal is 100% participation with the MDI Rotary Club.  All gift sizes and gift purposes are important and will be matched by our club up to $50.  To make your gift, simply click here https://map.rotary.org/en/selfservice/pages/SelectFundF.aspx?FUND=APF

Rotary Happenings
When we introduced Rotary Club Central in 2012, it revolutionized goal tracking and planning for clubs and districts — no more filling out paper club-planning forms or passing along boxes of historical club information every time a new leader took office. Rotary Club Central offered clubs and districts a quantifiable way to begin measuring local and global impact, specifically membership initiatives, service activities, and Rotary Foundation giving. But as with any technological advancement, in a few short years, Rotary Club Central began to show its age, and Rotarians took notice. They...
 
At its January 2017 meeting, the Rotary International Board of Directors adopted a new zone structure for Rotary clubs. Rotary bylaws require the Board to complete a comprehensive review of the 34 Rotary zones no less often than every eight years to ensure that each zone has an approximately equal number of Rotarians. The Board’s previous review of the zones occurred in 2008. The Board earlier approved the creation of three regional workgroups to develop rezoning proposals for Asia, Europe/Africa, and the Americas. These workgroups comprised one representative (either a current director,...
 
Through The Rotary Foundation, Rotary members have supported thousands of projects that promote peace, fight disease, provide clean water, save mothers and children, support education, and grow local economies. We’ve also led the fight to eradicate polio worldwide. As part of our celebration of the Foundation’s centennial, we’re honoring 20 global grant projects with special recognition.
