The Bar Harbor Bank and Trust's David Harding Golf Tournament was a great success despite the occasional rain. Rotary partnered with the bank so that this year's proceeds would benefit the Park Street Playground project. We're still waiting on the final numbers for the funds raised. Many thanks to Rotarians past and present who helped either organize or volunteered the day of the event. These include Shaun Farrar, Scott Hammond, Dean Read, Lisa Horsch Clark, Judy Holmes, Benni McMullen and Carrie Jones.
This Saturday, several Rotarians gave up a couple hours of their afternoon to help chaperone or take money at the door at the Dance for the Playground, sponsored by FishMaine. The first-of-its-kind end-of-the-school-year event gave part of its proceeds to the Park Street Playground as well. We're still waiting on the numbers there, but we can say a massive thanks to Rotarians (and spouses) Dean Read, Penny Read, Dick Fox, Martha Abbott, Gaylynn Wells, Steven Boucher and Carrie Jones for chaperoning and manning the cash box. If you want secure cash, put Dick and Martha on the doors.
Also, for the month of May, FishMaine Inc donated $723 from sales of the Park Street Pretzel from their restaurants!

Whenever I arrive in a new country, one of the first places I go is a bookstore. I do this for several reasons. Having spent much of my life and income in them, I always find them to be comforting spaces. And they often stock more specific maps and guides than you can get outside the country.
But the real reason I love these places is that by scanning the titles for sale – just gazing down the spines – I can get a glimpse of how people in that country see themselves. What stories do they tell? What stories do they read? What books do they print? And what do they import from abroad? And though...
Rotary members, their families and friends can support Rotary’s work by bidding on antiques, artwork, jewelry, and collectibles through eBay Live Auctions events.
Each month, Rotary will promote on its social media outlets a set of upcoming Live Auctions events, and eBay, the world’s largest auction website, will donate a portion of all sale proceeds from those events to Rotary.
Live Auctions events enable buyers to participate in auctions across the United States -- held at such auction houses as Sotheby’s, Swann, and Freeman’s -- without leaving home. Under this proceeds-sharing...
