ZOOM Meeting
 
Welcome & Pledge of Allegiance: President Don
 
4-Way Test: Conrad
 
Invocation: Joe B.
 
President Don welcomed everyone. Special guests Steve Wight and Assistant District Governor Bob Wester.   
 
Roland Gagne gave a brief update on the Maple Syrup project. Sales should be commencing soon. Kuddo’s to all who have worked on this project. Brian has just made the site to purchase the syrup live, so Rotarians are encouraged to test the site up. The launch is scheduled for now. If you have any questions, please reach out to Roland. 
 
First posting for Dan Reid new member, sponsored by Jim LaBelle.
 
We have a contract for main street building Jim Godbout has spearheaded. The project will close on or about March 15th. The project is a beautiful project, and we plan to hold an open house prior to closing.
 
The BSRC is working with Saco Bay Rotary to introduce on a new Rotaract Club with UNE. President Don mentioned a meeting to discuss setting up a new start up in conjunction with both clubs and UNE is scheduled for later in the week. The Rotaract club requires students engage in community service, so pursuing this prospective joint project could be a great addition for both clubs.
 
Superbowl weekend so as a reminder, please take some clynk bags to support the Kenya projects. All the funds raised through this program helps the children in Kenya. You can get some of the bags in Heather’s shop Whimsical Me. Stop by there or reach out to Don for Rotary clink bags. Thank you.
 
Mary’s Walk is coming up this year. If anyone wants to participate, reach out to Marty, and see if we can get a small Rotary group together to support this event. The virtual event is scheduled for March 17th.
 
Blood Drive:  March 3rd. Watch for links to sign up or donate coming soon. It will be held at the New Life Church from 11-5. More to come.
