The Mars Hill Rotary Club met at the Aroostook Health Center on Tuesday, July 14, at 6:30 a.m. Rotarian Dana Crory presented the 2008-2009 summary worksheet of the club’s finances.
Rotarian Chappy Clark presented a plaque to Milton and Gloria Adelman and family. “On behalf of the children, senior citizens and organizations in our communities, we want to express our thanks for all the support, caring and dedication you have shown and given to us over the years. Our communities are truly a better place to live because of you. Thank You, 2009, from all the citizens and recreation committees of the towns of Blaine, Bridgewater and Mars Hill,” read Clark.
The special speaker was Toby Adelman, who said she felt like a “Rotary Kid.” She has been involved with Rotary all her life. She remembers delivering Rotary Birthday Calendars and other items for Rotary. She stated that her dad is a master at having his ideas brought to fruition.
She presented UV Beads to the group, a bead that has a chemical in it that turns a white bead to a bright neon color — depending on the strength of the suns rays. Made into a bracelet, it is a good reminder for people that spend any amount of time out of doors to apply sunscreen often and to get into the shade whenever possible. The club decided to utilize this project and will be making bracelets to sell.
Rotary President Steve Hitchcock closed the meeting by urging all members to invite others to Rotary. He also spoke of possible service projects that the club can undertake — holding a Health Fair in Mars Hill and the possible formation of an historical association.
