Unfortunately we have had to CANCEL the Winter Carnival.  Due to the recent rise in temps and rain fall we lost the required ice depth that we needed to safely hold the event.  Thank You to everyone who was willing to give up their weekend to volunteer. We hope for better luck next year! 

Please pass along to any friends and family who were planning on attending.

Today is the start of Rotary End Polio Now Week.  Through the hard work of many Rotarians, we are fortunate to have the , and to have the National Assembly in Quebec make the proclamation tomorrow.  There are many club events this week to raise awareness about our efforts to end Polio, and we will be issuing a press release about them.  And the news on our efforts to end Polio is good  -  the number of new cases is dropping.  In India there has only been one new case since January.  It would be wonderful if that girl was the last person contract Polio in India.

 Finally, Paul Harris points will be doubled for online contributions to Polio Plus today through October 28th.

BELFAST, Maine — Five midcoast Rotary clubs are doing something they’ve never done before: Work together in one huge event spreading from Belfast to Rockland.

The local charitable organizations will hold a “marathon” from noon to 4:30 p.m. Saturday, Oct. 22. They will then throw a party open to the public beginning at 4:30 p.m. at The Whale’s Tooth Pub at Lincolnville Beach.

The goal is to raise money for polio vaccinations to give to children who live in Asian, African and Middle Eastern countries where the disease still exists.

“Nobody wants their children or grandchildren to develop this disease. We’ve eradicated it from the United States, we just have a few places left. We don’t want it to come back,” said one of the event’s organizers, Doug Curtis of Rockland.
