Club Meeting of 7/29
Today Greg Hird II was inducted into the club. His father (Greg Sr) was given the honor of providing Greg with his Rotary pin. Please continue to make Greg feel welcome.
Rick Whiting from the Auburn Housing Authority spoke to the club on their new project Vincent Place. This is the project that former club member Tom Spugnardi spoke about in his classification speech earlier this year. Vincent Place was built in 1927 and is on Main Street in New Auburn. This large building is being renovated to create 17 (1&2 bedroom) apartments for tenants who are 55 and over. Many of the apartments are handicap accessible and there is a new elevator being installed. This location is also on one of the local bus routes which will assist in providing mobility for the residents. Many local businesses have been and are involved in the project. There has been a focus on making this a green project. One of the larger tasks in making this green is the installation of passive solar collectors on the roof.
The Public Service committee met after the meeting. The FUNdraising committee is meeting Thursday July 30th at 5:30 at the Mechanics Savings Bank Operations Center on Belgrade Ave in Auburn. All are welcome. There are also two other events that we will be providing information on in the future. This is just a notice so that you can be prepared.
On August 8th members of the club will be assisting Habitat for Humanity in placing stickers on items for their upcoming yard sale. This will be at their ReStore which is located at 44 Strawberry Ave in Lewiston. More information including time will be coming in the future.
On August 26th the club will provide our annual duties as waitstaff for the Boys & Girls Club Annual Steak & Burger Dinner. The dinner is from 5-7:30 pm and then those participating will proceed to a time of fellowship. You can sign up online.
Don't forget to get your tickets for the Duck Race. You can contact either Norm Lamie or Bill Hunter for those tickets. We are now about 3 weeks away from the big event.
