Playground!

Hi everybody!
 
 
WE BUILT A PLAYGROUND! Thank you to EVERYONE that came out and lent a hand over this last weekend! It was so amazing to see the community come together for such an important project! As the week goes on the remaining site work (concrete, setting the rest of the pieces) will take place. We do still need all hands available for spreading wood chips around for the final layer. The following times are when we are asking people to come help:
 
Wednesday 9/13 4:30-6 PM
 
Thursday 9/14 7:30-9 AM
 
Thursday 9/14 3:30-6 PM or done
 
Hopefully some of you will be able to be there as we are on schedule to have grand opening on Saturday 9/16, and would love to have the wood chips down.
 
Please, if you haven't already, see our Facebook page for all sorts of pictures of the great work and fellowship that took place over the weekend. Also make sure to "share" and "like" the Bar Harbor (MDI) Rotary page and our posts. I am SO proud of everyone and more honored then ever to be counted among you.
 
Well done!
 
See you Wednesday, at Birch Bay!
 
Best,
 
Steve

Rotary Foundation
 
 
The Rotary Foundation  - Supporting Education
 
More than 775 million people over the age of 15 are illiterate. That’s 17 percent of the world’s adult population. Rotary’s goal is to strengthen the capacity of communities to support basic education and literacy, reduce gender disparity in education, and increase adult literacy. We support education for all children and literacy for children and adults.
 
Rotary improves education for all by providing Rotary Scholarships, investing in teacher training, and supporting community literacy programs for adults.
 
To be a part of this success, make a gift to the Rotary Foundation.  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. Learn more about the projects using our interactive map.
