In second place was Lucy Gelbstein with her speech titled "The Blame Game is only for Toddlers". In first place was Elle Emery with her speech titled "The Power of our Words."

Two Winnacunnet High School seniors were each awarded $4,000 scholarships ($1,000/year)- Claire Rademacher and Julia Edgar.

We have an opportunity for the club to raise some money by helping fill only ONE SHIFT for the Seafood Festival gates this year. The shift is on Saturday, September 10th and is only 3 hours from 5pm-8pm. We need 25 volunteers and we will get $10 per volunteer per hour. If we all show up we get double the donation!! Each volunteer will receive a wristband for the weekend to enjoy the festival! Fireworks are also on the Saturday night right after our shift ends. Bring spouses/friends/family - the more the merrier! This is a really easy way for us to raise some money for the club and have fun too! Contact Martha to sign up!

Visit another Rotary club meeting, attend one of our board meetings, a committee meeting, participate in a service project (blood drive, soup kitchen, bell ringing, etc.) or one of our many fundraisers (Reach to the Beach, Golf Tournament, etc) or simply do an on-line make-up.
