Excellent job everyone delivering the annual Rotary Club lobster party. Your efforts were certainly appreciated by the members and guests!!
Sandy Mollins loves to organize and does an awesome job planning events including birthday celebrations.
Did you know Sandy Mollins has volunteered her time to organize the Club lobster party the past 10 years. She also does an exceptional job keeping the President up to date during the planning process with her great communication and spreadsheets.
Thank you, Sandy, for your tremendous commitment to our Rotary Club and your many volunteer hours!!
Thank you to Paul Vautour for continuing to educate the members on the Waste Managment Program. He shared with me there is still some training required!
Congratulations Eric Mourant and Marc LaPointe for successfully adhering to the President’s safety training and protective safety gear for lobster cutters.
Thank you to everyone who assisted with the cleanup at the end of the party.
I received many positive comments on the lobster party which I have shared with the Social Committee.
Happy Birthday to all the Rotarians and their partners that are celebrating August birthdays. Surprise birthday celebration was held at the lobster party and hope you enjoyed the cake! Check out the bottom of the bulletin for the members and partner celebrating birthdays and anniversaries in August.
