Another Banner Year for the Rotary Club of Old Town
A fantastic time was had by all!
Another District Conference has come and gone. We had wonderful weather, fabulous fellowship and took home our share of knowledge, ideas, inspiration and awards.
Stan and Rachel did an incredible job presenting their NID trip to India to the whole assembly. In addition to their talk, we heard from many other clubs and learned about some extremely interesting projects that are happening around our district.
On Friday night, we had a BLAST listening and dancing to the sounds of the 70's provided by Motor Booty Affair. And it was on that fateful evening that we had to give up the Turkey Cup to the lottery winner, Bar Harbor.
Saturday, we had more interesting sessions, and our club was presented with the District Governor's Citation at the highest, gold, level. Additionally, our club was one of only two to earn the RI Presidential Citation in Gold! A big round of applause goes to President Sandy for her hard work helping us to achieve these distinctions. Good job and thank you everyone in helping President Sandy to fulfill her goals. Our club has so much to be proud of and is a strong force for good in our community. These awards show the level of effectiveness our club is achieving at.
Saturday afternoon, we had the opportunity to participate in some more fun activities, like zip lining! None of had more fun than Betts!!
At the District Governor's Gala on Saturday night, we were incredibly lucky to be able to hear from two of Rotary's Six Global Women of Action: Dr. Deb Walters and Razia Jan. Click on their names to see their stories. Amazing women, and our own PDG Deb Walters from the Unity club!
There were also special awards presented to some faces familiar to Old Town Rotarians. Our very own AG, Scott Boucher received one of two Service Above Self awards for his tireless efforts as AG, Polio Plus Chair and as an outstanding member of the District Training Team. Corina received Rotarian of the Year, our district's highest honor.
