Earl Goodwin took center stage to kick off the $100.00 Raffle Ticket Fundraiser.  The sooner we sell the tickets, the better off we are! Please get proceeds in to Earl within the next three weeks. Carl Goodwin has already sold 12 tickets!  Watch out Earl-you’ve got some competition!  Earl said that he already sold 8!!  
 
Wine Tasting is this Saturday!  Ticket sales are very low!  Please make a push on social media sites.
Last year we raised $6500.00. We are hoping to meet this goal. Thank you to those who donated items for the silent auction.  A few more people are needed to help out with set up at 9:30 am.

Rotary Youth Exchange:  There are a couple of students from Biddeford and Waterboro interested in this program. If anyone is interested in helping out with this very rewarding program please reach out to Ken.  He can fill you in on the program based on first- hand experience.

Kennebunk Portside Rotary is working on a new mentor program.  It involves first time non-violent youth offenders in the York County area.  Bob Makenzie is president of the Kennebunk Port-Side Club.  If you have any interest in this program let Bob know.
 
Brian Dallaire apologized for sending out a blank version of the TACK which was ultimately followed up by the correct version.  That always seems to happen when systems get upgraded.
