District Grant Project - OTHS Greenhouse

Through a district grant this year we were able to help purchase a greenhouse for the Old Town High School!

This greenhouse is currently being used by the Alt Ed and Biology teachers to provide hands on learning for their students. Rumor has it - the cucumbers are already starting to come up!

The Courageous Steps Project Inc

Connor Archer, Chairman and CEO of The Courageous Steps Project joined our weekly meeting to share the history, mission and vision for the future of the organization.

We were proud to present Connor with a donation to support their initiatives!

Our Annual Auction is Almost Here!

Patriot's Day 2022

We proudly filled our Patriot's Day with service projects!

We started by building 11 raised beds for a community garden on Perkins Ave. Anyone interested in renting one for the season should contact EJ Roach.

After enjoying lunch together, we helped replace the counters, shelves and flooring in the snack shack at the Little League field.

Helping Those in Need

What are these two up to? You can't take your eyes off either one of them. Oh, it is time to deliver food to the schools again. Thank you, angels, for seeing that there is a need and doing what you can to fix it.

Our Elves Are at It Again!

2 Rotary elves delivered food this month to our schools again. Corina and Linda took a few hours out of their day to make sure that the children of OTES, Milford and Greenbush have full bellies when they are home.

A Busy Holiday Season

We certainly had a busy holiday season, and we're ready to get this new year started! Here's a review of the past couple weeks:

Lisa organized our donation to the Caring Community Cupboard's Holiday Basket Raffle.

Corina, Pat, Jane & Chuck, and Tamara brought stockings stuffed with gifts for seniors to the Marsh Island Apartments.

Sue accompanied Linda to deliver food and gifts to the Greenbush School for the children.

Nate led our Holiday game night.

Deanie made a delicious red velvet cake as a prize for the winner of the Cake Walk, who so kindly shared it with everyone!

Stan and Joe installed a ramp in Veazie to make a home more accessible for someone in need.

Eric Rojo, one of our newest Rotarians presented his classification.

The Old Town Rotary Club presented a check of $3,000 for annual support to the Old Town Orono YMCA. Matt and Shawn spoke about the mission of the Y being for "all of us."

Linda Hosts OT Rotary at Caring Community Cupboard

Linda invited the club to the Caring Community Cupboard where we had a great potluck dinner and learned how their first month of operation has been.

Center for Undergraduate Research at the University of Maine

Mindy Pelletier from the Center for Undergraduate Research at UMaine and Jessie, a senior who does research on phage genomics joined our meeting to share Jessie's research with us. She is a UMaine student studying Microbiology from Milford, Maine. She will be presenting again this year at the UMaine Student Symposium on April 15, 2022 at the Field House at UMaine. This was an interesting topic many of us knew very little about! The public is invited to attend this annual event which highlights the research and creative achievements of UMaine students.
