Weekly Bulletin

Dear fellow Rotarians,

This week we will be having a virtual meeting on Wednesday November 25^th at Noon, and will be joined by guest speaker Taylor Valarik, Managing Director at the Criterion. Please watch your inbox for Zoom details.

We will also be kicking off our holiday fundraiser in support of local food banks, and you have two ways to participate! First, you can follow the “reverse advent calendar” below and create a basket or box for someone in need. These can be delivered to our Service Chair, Josh Yarbrough, at Bar Harbor Bank & Trust in downtown Bar Harbor. Second, you can make a monetary donation to the Bar Harbor (MDI) Rotary Club, earmarked for our contribution to the island’s food banks in early January.

Thank you, Colleen Maynard, for organizing this project! Questions? Feel free to give me a ring at

(508) 843-7180 or email stefaniemuscat@gmail.com.

I hope to see many of you this Wednesday!

Yours in service,

Stefanie

Stefanie Joy Muscat

President, Bar Harbor (MDI) Rotary Club
